When automotive collector John Dixon passed away in 2013, he left behind an impressive array of cars and memorabilia in the Ohio-based Taj Ma Garaj. In just a couple months, that entire collection, including this white 1953 Porsche 356 Limousine Custom, will be auctioned off by Canadian-headquartered classic car auction house RM Sotheby’s. The stretched 356 and ultimate prom vehicle is just one piece of the Taj Ma Garaj Collection, which includes over 30 cars, most of which are VW or Porsche models, and more than 350 bits and pieces of collectible goodies. It is, beyond a doubt, theultimate vehicle to take to prom. Originally, the car was but a simple 1953 Porsche “pre-A” 356 coupe, characterized in part by its V-shaped windscreen. Today, the limo retains that unique windscreen – along with other hints of the 356 like its front trunk and twin-carb engine – but has added a fair number of other features, including multiple doors and a soft-top sunroof that appears to have come from an old VW Beetle.Interestingly, however, there isn’t a lot of info on how and by whom the car was converted to its current state. Jalopnik points out there’s a Reutter badge on the rear, indicating they had something to do with the body build, but were they the audacious shop responsible for the generous stretch?  The inside is done in a gorgeous camel brown (brown leather to match brown carpets) that you just dont see today, with a divider to separate passengers and driver, a bar built into passenger compartments, and a bunch of other custom touches you can glimpse in the rest of the photos here.RM Sothebys will put the Porsche limo (estimated to fetch between US$150,000-US$250,000) and the rest of the Taj Ma Garaj Collection up for auction without reserve in Ohio on September
