Ferdinand Alexander Porsche dies at 76. For auto lovers, this is a sad, but appreciated day. The name itself should tell you the rest of the story.
The famed Porsche 911 was built from his drawings and design.
Porsches are collected and loved around the world. Their are some cars in this world strong enough to influence collectors, clubs, and crazes. Harley Davidson, Corvette, & Mustangs are are a few. The Porsche draws its own, elite crowd as well.
Ferdinand Alexander Porsche was Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Dec. 11, 1935. He was the first son of Dorothea and Ferry Porsche. Together, Ferry & Ferdinand founded the company & design that grew to become the elite craze today known as Porsche.
I remember as a teenage boy, even growing up in the country, the Porsche posters were in ever teen boy's room. They were sold like crazy at Spencer's & as the poster to have through school book sales.
It is no secret Jerry Seinfeld is a fan. The car is also represented in James Bond movies & Californication today.
I would encourage any readers to research his life further.
