A very early Porsche, before Volkswagen. There were only three made; one for a Nazi official, one for some rich guy, and one for a member of the car company family. That one was found by U.S. service men after the fall of Germany. They cut the roof off and used it to joyride around in until the engine burned out. There is only this one left and it's in the Porsche Museum in Germany. It's made of hand moulded brushed aluminum, the only off-the-rack items are the headlights and the surrounding bezel frame. The rest is a product of hours and hours of men pounding on sheets of aluminum over wood forms.Saturday, March 30, 2013
