Buying a 1948 Porsche 356

1948 Porsche 356Prior to the German invasion of Poland, Porsche had designed and built three Type 64 cars for a Berlin to Rome race in 1939 that was never run. Then, in 1948, Ferdinand Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the company, created the Porsche 356. A four-cylinder, air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive car utilizing unitized pan and body construction, the 356 was road certified in Austria on June 8, 1948. The 1948 Porsche 356 would go down in history as Porsches first production vehicle. These early 356 autos relied heavily on Volkswagen parts, however by the late 50's, Porsche had quickly re-engineered and refined the car with a focus on performance, thus eliminating the dependence on Volkswagen parts and mechanics. The early 356 autos were also handcrafted in aluminum, but when production moved to Germany in 1950, models became steel-bodied. From the first prototype in 1948, it took Porsche almost two years to manufacture its first 50 automobiles.
