Swinging Sixties Video: Porsche Made by Hand

by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Porsche Made by Hand Part 1

IF you possessed an inkling of something that might’ve resembled patriotic fervor  in post war (West) Germany, General deGaulle himself would’ve hopped over the Maginot Line to brow beat you to within an inch.

Hence this Porsche video from the 60s, which with music trumpeting triumphalism and Phoenix-like spirit of renewal, channels Teutonic pride into building the Porsche corporate image. Porsche nation über Mercedes, Ferrari, and alles, as it were.

Hence this perfectly period company film series Porsche: Made by Hand. The son of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche welcomes you with heavy German accent:

Greetings to all our Porsche fans. I wish it were possible for each of you to come to Stuttgart to see how a Porsche is made in our works. Instead of this, perhaps we can bring to you, with this film, the picture and the story of the Porsche idea.

And so they have. Enjoy Teutonic nostalgia for the Porsche fan.

Thanks, Jim!
