1953 Porsche 356 Pre-A Cabriolet Buyer’s Guide

One of the biggest Buyer’s Tips that The Beverly Hills Car Club can offer on the 1953 Porsche 356 Pre-A Cabriolet is to focus first on body condition and completeness, and second on mechanics. Generally speaking, the mechanics of these cars have stood the test of time and are fairly easy to work on. On the other hand, rust can be a nagging culprit. Because these cars were manufactured in Europe during the 1950s, little-to-no rust protection was used to protect them. Add in the fact that many of these cars were shipped across the ocean, and you have a breeding ground for rust, rust, rust. Certain areas of rust are more easily fixed than others; body panels are notoriously difficult. Many collectors believe that it is even better to move to a different model-year if you can’t find one in the condition you desire. Only you will know how much rust you are ready to deal with. It is important to mention that if you are looking at a fully restored example, be sure to check for signs of rust repair and ask for documentation showing how the problem was corrected.

These are just a few of the tips that The Beverly Hills Car Club team has learned over their years of buying and selling 1953 Porsche 356 Pre-A Cabriolet models and other European and American classics.
