    More Petersen Mar 2018 . . .

    . . . why I went to The Petersen

    This car . . .

    . . . so alien --- other-worldly

    It's been called the First Porsche --- the first car with that name on it . . . the origin of the species . . .



    . . . but --- to me? . . . this is also Edwin Komenda's . . .

    . . . and a masterpiece


    Breath-taking

    . . . What is this thing that I'm seeing, here? . . .

    . . . a submarine? --- for under the water? . . .

    . . . or a boat for on top? . . .

    . . . or maybe some sort of flying machine? . . .



    . . . or spacecraft?


    Swimming or diving --- gliding or flying . . . all movement . . . rendered in metal


    And small, modest, delicate . . . light enough that one breath could almost send it floating off the stage





    Dear Porsche . . .

    Please build the Type 64

    I would suggest that you construct the body out of fiber-glass-re-enforced plastic, fill the nose and tail compartments with styrofoam (for crash protection), use a 2-cyl gas motor to charge a hub-motor from your (stupid-@$$) 918, using some batteries that I'm told you're developing

    You should be able to produce the car for ~$20k, and prolly sell everything you can build for twice that . . . prolly more

    I will test the first one for you

    Keys, please?

    Sincerely, etc . . .





    Think the plate is missing its swastika
