This 1955 Porsche 356 1500 Continental is a Reutter-bodied bent-window coupe that left the factory on July 15, 1955, and was distributed to the US via Max Hoffman in New York.
The car was purchased circa 1976 by its current owner, a former NASA engineer who is said to have chosen it to assume the daily-driving duties once handled by his 1956 Carrera GS.
It has been repainted Champagne Yellow over brown and tan fabric and is powered by a 1.5-liter flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle.
Additional features include hydraulic drum brakes, 15″ body-color steel wheels, a single-grille engine cover, an electric fuel pump, Marchal headlights, a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio.
