The first Porsche's built were prior to World War II and Porsche built three Type 64 cars for a race from Berlin to Rome. Sadly, the race was cancelled, but in 1948, a chassis 356 prototype was built and called "No. 1'. Due to this fact, many have debated what the "first" Porsche really is. However, Porsche considers the 356 to be the first and they do not consider the three earlier vehicles to be anything more. The Porsche speedster was not thought of until 1954 when it was suggested by Max Hoffman.

Max Hoffman was the sole United States importer of Porsche's and advised the company to create a lower cost open top version. This suggestion proved to be one of the best Porsche ever followed. By 1957, the speedster topped at 1,171 cars being sold in America. The speedster was epically popular in Southern California, with its widescreen windshield that could be removed for racing, bucket seats, and minimal folding top it was an instant hit. The speedster was later replaced by the "Convertible D" model in 1958, today these early models are considered highly collectable by all auto collectors.
