Hi. Can anybody tell me what was the original color of my 54 Cab?
The serial number is 60459. Engine number P-32734.

Also. Where can I buy the paint?

Thanks.

Hi Antonio, order the COA, that will give the original color of your 54 cab.

Unfortunately Pre-A cars don't have a paint code tags. Best place to find original color would be somewhere in the interior or door hinges. The top frame should be painted body color, and probably has its original paint under where the fabric is attached.

Looks to be metallic from the way the light reflects in the photo. If that's the original color, then the only Porsche color from 1954 with that shade would be Silver metallic (R 535).
