In 1955, thepurchase price of a new Porsche Continental Coupe was $3,445; bycomparison, a fully optioned 1955 Cadillac Series 62 four-doorsedan was $3,977 - making the Continental a pricey and elitistitem. The Azure Blue paintwork has a lovely patina and retains itsoriginal components, including brightwork, glass, and trim. Theinterior is finished in Grey leatherette with charcoal square weavecarpets and a body-colored dash and door caps. An original VDMsteering wheel sits ahead of the original VDO instrumentation,along with a Telefunken AM/FM radio. The undercarriage is nicelydetailed and in very good condition. The 15" are painted in bodycolor with chrome baby moon hubcaps mounted to Michelin XZX 165SR15 tires. Although little is known about the original purchaser of thisPorsche in the United States, at one point in the mid-1960s, aGerman collector purchased the 356 in the US and shipped it back toGermany. The 356 was in his possession until he passed in 2009.Shortly after, the 356 was acquired by its next caretaker, whomaintained it and completed a service every year. Most recently,European Collectibles has rebuilt the braking system, detailed theunderside, and tuned the engine. Mechanically equipped with the matching 1,488cc flat-four engine(Type 546/2) paired to a manual 4-speed transmission with a 4-wheelindependent suspension and 4-wheel drum braking system, it iscomplete with a Porsche Kardex, spare wheel, and jack. This is agreat opportunity to acquire a one-year-only Continental Coupeequipped with its matching driveline and finished in a rare AzureBlue factory color.
