THE PORSCHE TYPE 64,A HISTORYC CAR ,AN EXCEPTIONAL DOCUMENT OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AUCTION MONTEREY CAR WEEK
On August17th, it will certainly be exciting to see RM Sotheby's beat at auction, among other prestigious cars, a rare example of the 20th century.
This is the Porsche Type 64 1938, an example of the high German technology of the thirties and the bold and futuristic design of the car, both in ther mechanical and in the external form.
The Type 64, produced in 3 specimens practically a prototype , with an aluminium bodywork, resembles a modernist sculpture by Arp or Brancusi, with the fluid profile related to the unique shapes in the continuity of Boccioni's space.
Is the futuristic spirit of the first decades of the twentieth century that animates designers before the second World War.
This uniquely designed car was designed by Ferdinand Porsche (the father of the Volkswagen Beetle), as a starting point for German industry, at the request of Adolf Hitler, after his coming to power in 1934.
Great debut that soon turned into a war industry after the outbreak of the second World War.
Tris is why the Porsche Type 64, finely restored in 1947 by Pinin Farina of Turin, is a witness of history, indeed it is a piece of history, which could reach a very high figure in auction.
