		He joined up with Porsche in 1931, so it's quite credible that he designed the bodies for the Beetle and 356.

		Erwin Komenda’s first 1948 Gmund coupe is clearly echoed in Porsches right up to today’s Carreras and is still effective, efficient and attractive.
		Yet his desire to develop a unique Porsche-based automobile that would still be recognizable in the tradition of Komenda’s immortal style convinced him to build this car as a Porsche project to end all Porsche projects.
		Porsche purists might argue with the approach, but a quick tape measure survey demonstrated that the dimensions were compatible other than the wheelbase, which was 13.8 inches longer in the 914-6 chassis than the 356 body.
