Today in 1949, the 19th International Motor Show was held in Geneva, Switzerland. However, this day is not special due to the show; it is special because of a car that was put on display. It was the first car to have the Porsche family name. The car was designed by Ferry Porsche, son of the founder of the Porsche company. It was built as a sports car and named the Porsche 356. The design elements of this very first Porsche can still be seen in all Porsche models that have been made since then.
1949年的今天， 瑞士日內瓦舉辦了第19屆的國際車展。不過這一天的特別之處並不是因為 這場車展，而是由於展覽當中出現了第一輛被冠上保時捷這個家族姓氏的車子。這輛車是保時捷公司創始人的兒子費瑞所設計。這輛車被打造成一款跑車，並被命名 為保時捷356（圖，網路照片）。這第一輛保時捷當中的許多設計元素在往後製造的所有保時捷車款中，仍然可以看得到。
