Default 1939 was good year...for "Porsches"?

anyone got $20mil for "maybe a porsche"? this thing going across the block this weekend. interesting semantics surrounding the badge on the car but in any case, sure to be an exciting auction.

Looks like a deathtrap.

Why the fetishistic devotion?

Other than my less than prosaic commentary, it is dead sexy.

Sotheby's screwed the pooch on that sale (regardless of what the article does and does not mention). I wonder what "Porsche" was willing to pay to get it back. Maybe that was the issue. They offered.. buyer said no, I'm going to auction it instead and then this happens.

Porsche AG is quoted as saying it's not an actual Porsche.

Porsche spent years trying to buy it. Now they say they wouldn't want it...

If the only surviving Type 64, then how does this one fit in?


This was displayed in 2013 at the Porsche by Design exhibit, that PCA Potomac visited during a weekend long Drive&Dine.

Here's a link to the museum's website info:
https://ncartmuseum.org/exhibition/p...seducing-speed

Clink on the photo of the car for additional info, such as:
