HUGE collection of info here: https://sfcriga.com/ferdinand-porsche-and-his-creatures


The “P1” – designed and built by Ferdinand Porsche – was one of the first vehicles registered in Austria. It was taken to the streets of Vienna on June 26, 1898.



1900. The Lohner-Porsche - a vehicle powered by the Porsche electric wheel-hub motors - was celebrated as an epoch-making innovation at the world trade fair in Paris.

Lohner-Porsche was the first front-wheel-drive car.

Long but good article/presentation.

How Frank Winchell defended the Chevrolet Corvair, in his own words
https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/03/22/how-frank-winchell-defended-the-chevrolet-corvair-in-his-own-words

Quote:
[Editor's note: While speaking with Nick Gigante regarding his upcoming Corvair Vindication Day event, Nick forwarded us a transcript of the speech that Frank Winchell, his grandfather, gave to 900 or so members of the Corvair Society of America at the club's annual convention in 1979 in Detroit. We excerpted a few sentences in that story, but thought it worth reprinting here, if for nothing else than for the technical arguments Winchell made in defense of the Corvair.]

Curt! Thanks much!

We ran very well and got podium on every race we could finish. I go taped on Turn 1 of the 1st segment of the 12 and that put me out of contention for that race. I did win 2 segments and was fastest GT qualifier for the Classic and for the Sprints.

I see that you got the photos after the incident (see the replacement left front...).

We were flying! i got it down to a 2:01.9 with traffic!

Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Thanks for the photos!
