1973 Porsche 914

1972 Porsche 911T

Besides the beautiful shape, the colour is still striking even though on close inspection the paint is slightly peeling. Love those bold chrome wheels, an unconventional choice at the time. Clearly the 911 owes a great deal of it's design to the original VW Beetle. The vent under each headlight gives the impression of a moustache. The manner in which the sealed beams were mounted into the chrome housings give it a slightly surprised look.

My apologies for the cropping of the rear 3/4 shot. Photographer error -- not in computer error.

1979 Porsche 924

Love the dark huge bubble of a rear window, which gives the illusion that this is a notchback. The circular side marker lights, the shut line of the door which extends into a seam above the window behind it. Suspect the reflector between the tailights is aftermarket. The dynamic curve of the sloping hood is only slightly interrupted by the interface with the windshield.

But even in this car German pragmatism is present -- the functional fuel cap instead of a door to hide it, the almost complete absence of chrome, the simple door pulls, a (minimal) back seat.
