This Porsche 356 Pre-A cabriolet was produced on February 2, 1953, for distribution in the US via the Hoffman Motor Car Company in New York.
Chassis 60013 was purchased by its current owner in Ohio in 1965, and restoration work completed in the 1990s involved installing a 1.6-liter flat-four and refinishing the Reutter-built bodywork in its original shade of Strawberry Red.
The interior was reupholstered in black leather in the late 2000s, at which time the gray convertible top was refurbished.
Service performed in anticipation of the sale included overhauling the twin Zenith carburetors, adjusting the hydraulic drum brakes, rebuilding the fuel pump, and refurbishing the fuel tank.
