The 1960s was a transformational time, and so were the cars. We can’t help but mention the Volkswagon Beetle or VW Bus. Those were standard for college students, young women and “hippies on the move.”
But for others who appreciate high-tech “cool” and “nonconforming” luxury cars? The Porsche 911 was hard to beat. And the Porsche brand has been innovative from its inception. Here’s some trivia:
The company founder Ferdinand Porsche (https://www.porsche-holding.com/en/history/ferdinand-porsche/inventive-genius partnered) invented the world’s the first hybrid gasoline-electric car, called the Lohner-Porsche which debuted in 1899! The electric vehicle had an internal combustion motor used as a generator.
The Porsche 911 is manufactured in Stuttgart, Germany. Around 110 Porsche 911 models are made each day.
In 1964 the new Porsche 911 sold for $6,490. Today that classic car can sell from $80k up to $300k+ depending on the condition and other factors.
Ferdinand Porsche built the first VW Beetle in his private villa. So, the iconic classic Volkswagen and Porsche 911 have the same “father.”
As the 1960’s counterculture grew up, many migrated to California. While the flower children gravitated toward Haight-Ashbury’s psychedelic atmosphere, innovators like Steve Jobs moved down the peninsula to establish today’s Silicon Valley. And the Porsche 911 became a popular choice for the Bay Area’s nouveau riche. Today, California has the most significant percentage (15%) of Porsche dealerships in the United States.
