1957 356 A Porsche ….Meissen Blue

This vehicle forces people to stop and stare. The 1957 Porsche 356A Coupe, with a Reutter couch remains one of the most sought after in the Porsche family. Born July 9, 1957, this beauty boasts the eye-catching original Meissen Blue (#5703) paint accentuated with sharp tan (Brown) leather trim. What’s more, it underwent a meticulous, two-year full ground-up cosmetic and mechanical restoration that’s Concours compliant. It was stripped to bear metal and the engine was pushed out to 1720cc in the process to propel her along. Features: 4-speed manual gearbox synchronization, weighing in at only 1,675 lbs. and original moon hubcaps, the evidence of a well-loved, cared for car. All this and only 40,100 miles clicked off the odometer. Appreciate this car’s elegant attractiveness paired with its mighty Flat 4-1.6 liter engine producing 115HP. A rare one indeed.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but I don't think it's a bench seat. All the pleats were the same width on the bench seats, and it kind of looks like the pleat near the center is wider than the rest, which would make it a bucket seat. But it's hard to tell.
