Hoffman was a porsche distributor in 1952. He ordered, imported and sold bunches of 52 cars in the 10001-12000 vin range. Its possible your 50032 is the oldest 53 in the usa but by no means the earliest max hoffman import.

Hello David,
I suggest you contact James Davies about anything 53 related.
No one in the world knows more about that year model.
