Pre-A Rear Script Question

[Bruce Grant]

Is the main Porsche script Gold or Chrome on a 54 Coupe? Is the 1500 Super Script under it supposed to be Gold or Chrome? Thanks for any help... i see both in the pictures on the web, but I need to get it right

Both scripts would be the same color. The "chrome" looking ones are actually aluminum. Someone else should be able to answer your question regarding which color would be appropriate for your car. Do you know on what date your car was built? Chassis number?

Hi Bruce,

As Vic said, all the scripts on 1954 coupes and cabs were aluminum. Slightly polished. Christer Rye makes perfect reproductions of these. I bet you can't tell which is original and which is the reproduction. =)

All pre-A scripts were aluminum up through late 1954. The Speedsters in late '54 and '55 got the gold scripts. Coupes and cabs continued getting the aluminum ones, though I believe some did get the gold ones also in 1955.

The 1954-55 aluminum scripts had 5 solid posts on the back. A long plate welded to the backside of the bodywork had 5 built-in speed nuts to hold it on.

Bruce heres a shot on the car, these are original scripts. James is correct in saying the repops are spot on.
