1959 356A Cabriolet black/black with red leather 5 yr resto

#1 Post by Robert Boyle »

Hello gang,

I bought this car in 2010 from a post which Bruce Baker shared here on 356Talk and I had him restore it for me. I wanted to share photos of the restoration with the group. I haven't been active on 356 Talk in about 7-8 years due to other life time commitments: kids, motorcycles, airplanes, divorce, business, etc. The end of the road for this car is an exciting milestone so I became a bit nostalgic and wanted to say hello and share the photos.

Comments and input welcome. Thanks!

Robert your cab is outstanding!
It's a Porsche enthusiasts dream to own a matching number 59 cab in a beautiful color combination restored to the highest degree.
Just outstanding! Great website to inspire us with our projects.
I also see its for sale, another dream for someone to fulfill.

Thank you everyone! I do love driving and enjoying them, but bringing them back from the dead and finding all the unobtainable bits and pieces to make a car perfect is my favorite part.

Robert,

Treasure hunting has been the calling for many a man. Is that an outlaw image in your handle?
