Car For Sale: 1958 Porsche 356 A Sedan Delivery Kreuzer

By info@topspeed.com (Michael Fira)
Remember the days of the compact but practical delivery wagons based on your average car? Stuff like the Pontiac Pathfinder or Ford Courier in wagon form with no rear windows and truck-like doors in the back for easy access to the cargo area. Known as sedan delivery vehicles, they stopped being popular over half a century ago but, even in their heyday, no small business owner dreamt of owning something like this. But Jon Dixon did and this is the fruit of that dream, the Porsche 356 A Sedan Delivery 'Kreuzer', a car to annoy the purists and bring a smile to the faces of those that like to see tasteful and unconventional builds strive to exist in a world of uniform tastes. The Porsche 356 was the first car built by the factory after the war, first at Gmund, in Austria, then at Porsche's original home in Zuffenhausen, near Stuttgart, from 1950 onwards. The 356 A arrived in late 1955 as a 1956 year model and replaced what's now known as the 356 Pre-A, or the first 356s to be built in Germany with steel bodies (because Reutter Karosserie that handled body construction didn't have the know-how to weld light-alloy body parts like those of the 356/2 examples made in Gmund). The 'Kreuzer' is, at heart, a 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster so you can imagine how much work went into getting it to look as it does today.
