I have always wondered who this girl in this 914 promotional photo was (don't tell my wife (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)). I think I have seen her in other 914 ad photos, but she doesn't strike me as being "model" quality; so I'm wondering if the Pfennig-pinching Porsche execs just decided to use an off-the-shelf employee for the photoshoot. The car's plate indicates a Ludwigsburg registration, site of many of Porsche's administrative offices and parts warehouses at the time. Was she a clerk or secretary at Ludwigsburg or was she the wife or daughter of a big-wig? Who knows, it might even be her personally owned 914. If she is still around, I'd imagine she would be about 75 years of age now. It would really be interesting if she could tell her story....

- given we have the when and the where.
who is the girl? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i don't believe she is in other photo shoots for 73 or other years. or other porsches - ie 911. had a bit of a good look at factory publicity shots of the time. not there. but i think the other girl in the shoot does make another appearance. bit hard to tell for sure. would need a good res image of the airfield photo to know.  i think she is the dark haired girl in these shots.     my educated guess is these girls are from a modelling agency or from a pool that the photographers used at the time. probably local. in stuttgart. i'd bet most of the locations used for the factory publicity shots through the years are all local to the stuttgart area - similar distance as the airfields used in the shots being discussed. within an hour or so of stuttgart and suitable for travel to and completion of a one day shoot. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have an email out to the current owners of the company that is in the location of the air port. Fingers crossed they know someone who was there 50 years ago when those pictures were taken. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
