I thought I would share some (more) of my photos of the Porsche museum. These photos are of the old original museum. It was really tiny, but charming and special, I kind of miss the old museum. It was located on the factory grounds… so you always got to see some “fresh” Porsches being tested out on the public streets of Zuffenhausen.

The old brick building is the current customer service dept in Werk-I. This is where the "special wishes dept" was located and where very special Porsche customers can take their car in for service or exclusive options to be installed. When I was there in 2001 I saw THREE 959's with USA tags on them. One from CA and two from Nevada I think.

Enjoy,

Love those door pulls!

The old charming (small) museum…

One of my favorite things about the old museum was this wall of models. Every Porsche ever made had its mini model up on that wall!



356-1 the very first car Porsche made in Gmuend, Austria.

Werk-1 This was where Ferry’s office was. Also the Motorsports Dept was located here. Now it is in Weissach. This is where Porsche Exclusive and the parts dept and special customer cars are serviced.
