Buying a 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A

1955 Porsche 356 Pre-AThe last of the Porsche 356 Pre-A models before the release of the 356A, the 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A offers all the advancements that would come down the line from the car’s debut in 1949. For those classic car collectors looking for the classic styling of the early 356 models and the primitive and raw European sports car experience, yet who would like to enjoy some of the advancements of the time, the 1955 model-year 356 Pre-A is a great option. There is one very interesting way to determine a 1955 356 Pre-A from its predecessors, as well as from the 356A cars that would follow. A new type of hood handle appeared during this model year; a 356A handle on a 356 Pre-A body. This handle is bigger and much longer and bears the Porsche crest. (Previously the Porsche crest was not included on the handle.) So, if you see a Pre-A body with a 356A handle, you’ll know that you’re looking at a 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A model. One other small way to differentiate the 1955 model is the use of Continental script on the front fenders.
