The models from 1950 to 1955, including the 1952 Porsche 356, are most often considered the Pre-A models, while this in not a designation recognized by Porsche itself. By 1952, the Porsche 356 had become widely praised on both sides of the Atlantic for its aerodynamics, handling and excellent craftsmanship. In fact, Ferdinand Porsche, founder of Porsche, said his son Ferry had engineered an auto in which every single bold was just right. This meant a lot coming from a man who had a great focus on craftsmanship and quality engineering. Today, the Porsche 356 remains one of the most iconic German classic cars – a car that is sought-after by many and owned by few.
