O veículo em detalhes

Chassis No. 85857 – Engine No. 72513 – Transmission No. 23213

The 356 A Convertible D evolved from the famed 356 Speedster as the newest sporting open-topped Porsche upon debut. While the Speedster was spartan, the Convertible D had become nearly as civilized as the Cabriolet with a larger windshield and roll-up side windows. Production of the special 356 A Convertible D body was handled by Drauz of Heilbronn, hence the name Convertible D. Only available for a single model year, 1959, a low number of 356 A Convertible Ds were produced—just 1,330. Interestingly, Porsche limited the color choices of the Convertible to Ruby Red, Meissen Blue, Ivory, and Silver Metallic with 98-percent of the Drauz built cars so finished.

The Kardex warranty card for this Convertible D reveals its original build specification with an exterior finish in popular Ivory. While the Kardex does not record the interior color, an Ivory Convertible D was only available with Red or Black upholstery that year, and it is quite likely that it was Red when new. Options are listed as U.S.-specification bumpers and sealed beam headlights. Most importantly, the Kardex lists both the 1,600-cc engine (85857) and the four-speed transmission (23213) serial numbers, both of which remain in the car, cementing its numbers matching status today.

According to a copy of its 1982 State of Oklahoma title, chassis number 85857 was first sold on 13 April 1959 for $3,581. Rick Casey, who owned the Convertible D from 1986-2009, states that he acquired the car from the original owner, who is likely James Cleveland of Tulsa, as on the 1982 Oklahoma title. Casey states that when he acquired the car with approximately 35,000 miles on the odometer, the car was an unrestored example without accident or rust. Under his ownership Casey had the car restored in the late 1980s, capturing 356 Registry and Porsche Club of America concours wins before it was placed into storage in 1998. In 2009, it was acquired by James Hebenstreit of Mission Hills, Kansas with just 38,912 miles. Hebenstreit commissioned Dennis Frick and his well-known Europa Macchina restoration shop to fully restore the car to concours standards. Chassis number 85857 was shown at the prestigious Concours on the Avenue in Carmel-by-the-Sea during Pebble Beach Car Week in 2014 with Hebenstreit noting its bona fides on an application form to return to the event in 2015. Frank Darabont later acquired the car in 2022 as its fourth private owner in the past 66 years.

While plenty of Porsche 356s can be found on the market at any given time, examples like this are far from common. This early open-top 356 stands out with its low mileage, matching numbers, and restoration performed by a well-known and respected specialist. The fact that it’s a rare, one-year-only model—a 1959 Convertible D—further enhances its appeal among those dedicated in-the-know Porsche enthusiasts.
