COOL CARS | 1939 PORSCHE TYPE 64

This 1939 Porsche Type 64 will be sold at RM Sotheby’s Monterey Car Week auction. It’s considered the foundation for Porsche’s subsequent success and predates both the 364 roadster and 911.

Porsche produced only three of the Type 64. One model was destroyed during early World War II, and the other was stolen and destroyed by Americans near the end of the war. The last model, used by the Porsche family, was sold to Otto Mathé, who owned it until his death in 1995. Thomas Gruber, a Porsche collector, took ownership of it. It has been restored over the course of its lifespan to retain its original condition.
