5. The Porsche family returned to Stuttgart in
1949 not knowing how to restart their
business. The banks would not give them
credit, as the company's plant was still under
American embargo and could not serve as
collateral. So Ferry Porsche took one of the
limited series 356 models from Gmünd and
visited Volkswagen dealers to raise some
orders. He asked the dealers to pay for the
ordered cars in advance. He even wrote a
letter to the bank's director to thank him
for refusing.

6. Porsche was later contracted by Volkswagen
for additional consulting work and received a
royalty on every Volkswagen Type I (Beetle)
car manufactured. This provided Porsche
with a comfortable financial situation as
more than 20 million Type I were built.
Ferdinand visited Henry Ford's operation in
Detroit many times where he learned the
importance of productivity. There he learned
to monitor work. The need to increase
productivity became an obsession for him.
