1952 Porsche 356 Pre-A Coupe
This 1952 Coupe was discovered in Orange County, California. Bent window, body-bumper 1300 cc matching numbers engine. The first few photos in the gallery show the car as-found. Having been parked 30 years, I was able to rebuild the original engine, clean the interior and exterior, and install new tires. Even it's original 5 16" wheels were with the car! After returning the Coupe to the road, it was shown duing Monterey Car Week at the Streets of Carmel and The Quail. "Patina Queen," as nick-named by the Porsche Panorama article, was a hit everywhere she went during the week. The subject of a Porsche Panorama article and numerous European magazine write-ups. Below you will see Alain De-Cadenet sitting in the car admiring it's originality while being shown at The Quail.
