1954 Porsche 356 pre-A

The Porsche 356 is a rear-engined sports car and Porsche's very first production model. The 356 is a lightweight and agile, rear-wheel-drive, rear-engined two-door model, available as a hardtop coupe and open-top version. Technical innovations continued throughout the production years, contributing to the car's success and popularity in motorsport. Production began in 1948 in Gmünd, Austria, where Porsche built approximately 50 cars. In 1950, the factory moved to Zuffenhausen, Germany, and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, long after the replacement model 911 made its debut in September 1964. The 356 was built in four distinct series: the original ("pre-A"), followed by the 356 A, 356 B, and finally the 356 C. To distinguish between the major revisions of the model, 356s are generally divided into a few main groups. The 356 coupes and "cabriolets" (soft-tops) built until 1955 are easily recognizable by their split (1948 to 1952) or curved (center-creased, 1953 to 1955) windshields.Mileage 51.158 km odometer readingYear of construction 1954Color grayMargin or VAT Margin
