About this car
1952 Porsche 356 1300 Cabriolet by Glaser, offered by Copley Motorcars (CopleyWest, Newport Beach, CA) at price on request. Erdbeerot over tan, 4-speed manual; handbuilt Glaser cabriolet, restored, per the dealer.
What the photos show
- Deep maroon paint is mirror-glossy from every angle — panels look straight with no visible damage.
- Chrome bumpers, overriders and hubcaps shine like new — brightwork needs no spend on sight.
- Tan soft top looks taut and clean raised, with a clear oval rear window — top presents beautifully.
- Whitewall tyres and body-colour steel wheels look fresh — presentation is show-ready in the photos.
- Tan leather seats and matching dash look immaculate, with no creasing or wear visible — interior needs nothing on sight.
- Gauges, ivory wheel and switchgear all look crisp and complete — small details are in order.
- Engine bay is exceptionally clean, with tidy carbs, filter and tinware — detailing supports a serious ask.
- Front trunk is clean with a strapped whitewall spare and neat tank — nothing missing or messy to sort.
- Can't judge the underside — no underside photo, and on an early 356 the floors are where hidden money goes.
Money: No price was published for this car, but the paint, top, interior and engine bay all look show-standard in photos — only the unseen underside could argue against a very strong price.
