For true lovers of early Porsches, the Pre-A 356?s have a distinct mystique. The unmistakable split window styling; the hand-built construction; and the sense of owning a piece of the beginning of a legend and the Porsche legacy are irreplaceable. With only a few thousand of all types built, and only 394 Cabriolets in total for 1953, it?s a chance to be a part of a legacy which stretches unbroken to today.
