Christian asked and here they are, my 20 most favored postcards showing Porsche 356s in daily life. They are rather scarce despite the saying ‘where’s a Volkswagen there’s a Porsche, I must have some 400 of them and most happily there are thousands left to discover!

Since its inception in 1931 at the hands of Ferdinand Porsche, the German company is among the kings of the auto industry along with some […]

He also also worked for Cox, who are now known for their remote control and gas powered vehicles, but also created many kits over the years. More recently, he was the curator of the Los […]
