    Need Hi Res or printed picture of vintage factory

    Looking for a hi-res file or printed picture that I can scan of this vintage factory shot for my office wall.
    If anyone has this in a book, I would gladly pay both way insured shipping and only need it for a day.
    Would also pay for a local scan and your trouble if you would rather not ship the book or pic.
    The wall space I need to fill is about 8' tall x 10' wide, so this one will pixelate to much when enlarged.

    Thanks in advance for looking!

    Best,
    Bud

    Interesting pic. Those appear to all be 912's.

    Wonderful picture. Sure appears as from the olden times .... OK not Model T type of olden times but really makes one appreciate how far modern assembly lines have become. Love the cars on dollies with rollers.

    Nice picture albeit you have a 1970 E and clearly this is a SWB 912 on the left - I think there are a lot of 1970 factory pictures around

    This photo was discussed here before and if I remember correctly it was said to be from the Karmann factory.

    How can you tell it's an E? Also, since 912s ended for MY 1969, I'm not certain it makes sense that this is a 1970 picture.

    Actually, in enlarging the picture on my screen, I see that the second car on the right has the '67 PORSCHE letters on the bottom of the engine lid, and the horn vents appear to have two screws. I also see rubber covered bumpers on one of the cars.

    And as mentioned, a 912 engine on the left, and 912 engines hanging on the upper right.

    Interesting to contrast with the poster/handbill a friend of mine made a few years ago.

    Hey Guys, yes, I was informed that they were 912's but the appeal for me is the old school factory "handmade" vibe.
    It reminds me of growing up and working in packing houses... cars, beef...line production...

    Love the "poster" image contrasting the building from 356 to 912 production.

    Thanks for the help!
