Every now and then, a car appears that makes you stop and take a moment. This 1953 Porsche 356 Pre-A Coupé 1500 Super is one of those cars. Its preservation is so remarkable that seeing it in person feels like stepping back into the early 1950s.

Such thorough provenance is a rarity in itself. For an impression of its documentation and condition, you can browse the photos on Gallery Aaldering’s website.
What makes this Porsche 356 particularly special is its authenticity. It remains largely original, having been repainted only once in its lifetime — a careful respray done with full respect for the car’s heritage. The color combination is still the authentic Pascha Red over beige leather, exactly as it left the factory. It also comes with its official Porsche Birth Certificate, confirming its matching numbers and original colors. The bodywork is beautifully straight and well-preserved, and the paint presents in great condition. Inside, you’ll find exquisite period details that speak to its craftsmanship and care. Every aspect of this car exudes originality and quality.
When it debuted, the Porsche 356 was a revelation — simple, pure, elegant, and understated. That, ultimately, is the secret to its beauty. Its lines are soft and flowing, almost poetic — designed not to impress, but to convince. Aerodynamic, efficient, and above all, timeless.
Although Porsche still shared certain components and concepts with the humble Volkswagen Beetle in its early years, by 1953 a clear distinction had emerged. The 356 Pre-A marked the first true step toward the brand we know today — a car that was unmistakably a Porsche in both heart and soul. The design was continuously refined, the production process improved. The silhouette remained familiar, but the details evolved: a new one-piece windshield with a subtle V-shape, elegant bumpers detached from the body, and an upgraded interior featuring more refined controls and materials.
Under the rear deck lid lies the beating heart of this beauty: an air-cooled, 1,500 cc flat-four engine. In Super specification, it produced an impressive 70 horsepower — quite an achievement for its time. From that model year onward, the 356 also featured a fully synchronized gearbox — a technical innovation that transformed the driving experience. Every shift, every corner, every acceleration felt smooth and precise, exactly as Ferdinand Porsche intended.
And to think that this example is now nearly three-quarters of a century old — yet remains in such extraordinary condition. When you trace its graceful lines, or imagine the sound of that unmistakable air-cooled engine, you begin to understand why the 356 is far more than a classic automobile. It is an icon.
A Porsche 356 like this does not simply come along — and it certainly does not stay for long. This is not a car you buy to keep for the next generation; it’s one you preserve for history itself.
