1955 Porsche 356 Speedster
Now available from CPR Classic is this rare and captivating 1955 Pre-A Speedster. Painted in its factory correct Speedster Blue over a Tan interior, this car shows as an excellent example and piece of Porsche History.
In 1953 the US importer (Hoffman) convinced the Porsche factory that a stripped-down car with a low, curved windscreen and a lightweight hood selling for under $3,000 had the potential to be a great success. The Pre-A Speedster was born, first coming in only 3 colors: Red, White, and Blue. Of these factory colors, blue resulted in the lowest production with just 200 Speedsters being built in 1955. With such a limited production and unique profile, the Speedster became a great sales success in the USA for the small manufacturer.
