Though the 911 may be the most enduring and most populous model produced by Porsche, this ever-popular model owes itself to the iconic and original Porsche -- the 356. Produced in various forms for nearly twenty years, the 356 was the first production car ever built by Porsche. The original 356 (which resides in the Porsche museum) -- called the 356/01 -- was designed by Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche in 1948 and was originally a mid-engined open-top two-seater. When the 356 reached production, it had evolved into a rear-engined sports coupe or roadster that was powered by an air-cooled four-cylinder engine. Porsche would ultimately sell over 75,000 356s during its 17-year production run, although only around half are reported to survive today.
