The phone took up much of the dashboard area.

Had one of those when I was growing up and, of course, a party line. Three long and two short was our ring. Of course there was a ring for each party and when you heard one short and two long, you could listen in for any good gossip, not that anyone ever did. Six long was a call for mine rescue and for a physician as was six blasts on the smelter whistle.

Look on line. This came out the other day. Good oil’ Shep Smith showed it, which is why I even looked it up, because “first Porsche” in the horseless carriage age didn’t sound right.

The guy just designed it, but didn’t have his own company to call it an actual Porsche. So kind of misleading. But still interesting to hear he had such a project so early.

BTW, all that was really done was to add clear plexiglass to the sides to represent the seating arrangement.

Happens. Lots of things did survive, as well as disintegrate.

Why is there no mention in the article of Ferdinand Porsches’ Volkswagon which he designed for Hitler in 1938?
