A timeless 1959 Porsche 356A Cabriolet in Ivory over brown leather with period-appropriate charm, now available at no reserve.
This 1959 Porsche 356A Cabriolet, built by Reutter, embodies classic Porsche elegance with its Ivory (5704) finish, brown leather interior, and a matching brown soft top. Offered at no reserve in North Salem, New York, this meticulously maintained cabriolet is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four engine mated to a four-speed manual transaxle, blending vintage aesthetics with reliable performance.
The car’s timeless Ivory exterior is complemented by a removable fiberglass hardtop, body-color bumpers, vent windows, and a chrome driver-side mirror. While close-up photos reveal minor paint cracks and blemishes, the car retains a patina befitting its vintage status. It rides on 15″ ventilated steel wheels adorned with Porsche-crested hubcaps, wrapped in Vredestein T-Trac tires with 2010 and 2011 date codes.
Inside, the bucket seats are upholstered in rich brown leather, paired with a body-color dashboard and rear seats. The cabin features a Blaupunkt radio, a passenger-side grab handle, lap belts, and a two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring. VDO instrumentation includes a 6k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and combination gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 17k miles, though true mileage is unknown.
The 1.6-liter flat-four engine, equipped with dual Zenith carburetors, was overhauled in 2002, along with the exhaust system. The four-speed manual transaxle was also rebuilt at that time. Updates include a dual-circuit master cylinder and refreshed front brakes in 2017, with new wheel cylinders, shoes, seals, and one front drum replaced.
This Porsche 356A Cabriolet represents an opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of motoring history, blending iconic styling with mechanical reliability. Whether for a weekend drive or as an addition to a discerning collection, this no-reserve offering is sure to capture the attention of classic car enthusiasts.
