Porsche 356 is considered the first production model by the automaker. Most people don’t know it, but prior to World War II Porsche designed and built three Type 64 cars for a 1939 Berlin to Rome race that was cancelled. The last remaining model of the three has been on display for little over a year at Porsche’s new museum in Zuffenhausen. Now Porschephiles in the States can also see this 1938 Porsche Type 64 as the car will be shipped outside of Germany for the first time since its restoration. The Type 64 will be on display in High Museum of Art in Atlanta for the The Allure of the Automobile exhibition from March 21st until June 20th. Visitors to the Porsche Museum in Germany will see the skeleton structure of the Type 64 body until the end of June 2010 – a skeleton made of wood upon which the 1.2-millimetre aluminium panels were hammered into shape. For more details take a look at the press release after images.
Wonder how much they are going to insure it when they ship it over,ah.. That Al skeleton looks amazing also.
Wow Ferdy didn't really stray to far from the basic beetle shape did he. You can see a lot of oval window beetle in the rear window and on the scuttle panel cooling slots. cool shape none the less. I love split and oval window beetles. Wish my god father sold me his.m
