Very rare and amazing footage produced by Porsche. Full documentation of Porsche 356 production. Ferry Porsche welcomes you for a full factory tour. I believe this footage was filmed in 1960.
Made by hand was once a moniker of quality. Mechanization is even derided by comparison at 9:35. But automation proved its worth and attitudes changed. Today's Porsche factory is as impressive as the cars it makes.
Absolutely supreme quality and assembly!. Even the kit cars, some costing 100k+ can't compare! BTW they have modified VW motors. I'm a semi retired Porsche mechanic, age 74.
Must have been more job satisfying to work back then in such a Car industry. I worked in Holden's and Chrysler in the 80ties and already then it was nothing but rush and pressure at the expense on quality.
