    At Porsche Museum, a history of great cars (photos)

    STUTTGART-ZUFFENHAUSEN, Germany--For two years now, Porsche fans have had a new shrine to their favorite cars to visit. This is the Porsche Museum, a stunning modern architectural masterpiece that happens to house dozens of the company's most famous and important vehicles.

    It is also home to many of the vehicles that Ferdinand Porsche created or designed before he started his own company. Among them is this one, the 'godfather' of Porsches, the so-called Body Type 64. Made in 1939 with an all-aluminum body, Professor Porsche, as the founder of the company is known, drove this car himself, and later, after World War II, he added his family's name to the car, the first vehicle to have that honor.
