Ferdinand Porsche was imprisoned after WW II and obviously could not take active part in constructing the first Porsche car - which was a mid engined prototype. 356 was styled by other long-time Porsche engineer Erwin Komenda. Mrs. Louise Piech was Ferry?s sister, Ferdinand Piech?s mother and owner of Porsche Salzburg. Butzi or Ferdinand Alexander Porsche is the designer and he designed the outward appearance of the 911 and the very beautiful 904. Ferdinand Piech was head of the Porsche racing department at the time of the tremendous 917 racers. All the best!
