1939 Porsche Type 64 60K10

The Type 64 is Porsche's first ever production car. It contains styling elements from other upscale  vehicles of its era and inspired the 356 that came after it. Powered by a flat-four making around 40 horsepower, this vehicle was crafted to compete in the 1939 Berlin-Rome endurance race but was ultimately scrapped due to the beginning of World War II. Only three Type 64s were ever made. Two of those three were restored and survive to this day, including the example above. The Type 64 is not as well-known in the automotive world but is an important car since it is the ancestor of every other Porsche in history. I am fascinated by the earliest Porsche model due to its design, rarity, and significance.
