Rare and desirable 1952 Porsche 356 Pre-A "Bent Window" Coupe, California car. This early model is highly collectible and features a simple, clean, elegant, and understated design.
The car is finished in light blue metallic with a grey cloth interior. It runs and drives but requires minor cosmetics and brake servicing to be considered roadworthy. At some point in its history, it was fitted with a period-correct 1500 engine from 1955.
Overall, the vehicle is very complete and solid. There is a minor dent on the nose from light contact during transport. The chassis number is 11566 and the engine number is P35193.
This classic Porsche was first built in Austria in 1948 and later moved to Stuttgart in 1950, where it was assembled by Karosserie Reutter. The 1952 model features the modern one-piece bent-window styling, a refinement from the earlier split windscreen design.
The 356 was known for its steady development, combining simplicity and elegance. It remains a sought-after collector's item and is sure to attract attention at local gatherings and events.
