The Porsche 356 was designed in Gmünd, to which Ferdinand Porsche had moved during the Second World War. The Porsche 356 was designed by Ferry Porsche, the son of Ferdinand Porsche. Porsche used many parts of the Volkswagen for its production, such as the air-cooled boxer engine. This was because he had been involved in the development of this car in the 1930s. The bodywork was designed by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda. The mechanical parts, including the engine, shock absorber and chassis, were built by Volkswagen. The first Porsche 356 was certified on 8 June 1948 in the Austrian town of Gmünd. The Porsche 356 built in Gmünd was aluminum until production moved to Stuttgart, Germany, in 1950. Steel was then used until 1965.
