1954 Porsche 356 Cabriolet
Chassis number 60641 is a 1955 model year Porsche 356 Cabriolet, one of only 270 produced for that year, delivered new to California on 8 August 1954 according to Porsche France documentation. The cabriolet body style, built by Reutter, offered a more refined alternative to the spartan Speedster, with a padded convertible top, fixed windscreen, and bolstered seating. This example has undergone a comprehensive restoration and retains its rare original bench seat — a feature long since replaced on most surviving cars — along with a functioning period radio.
