The car that started as the Porsche-designed VW project EA425, became the Porsche 924. Itwas the first front-engine, water-cooled Porsche; a landmark model and the start of a new era.

The design later morphed into the 944, which is mostly a 924 with wider fenders and a better motor, that finally became the 968 by the time this platformandrsquo;s 19-year production run ended in 1995. The beautiful, sleek design that began with the 924, continued to be Porscheandrsquo;s basic design for 19 years! Today, the 924 is considered the last vestige of affordable classic Porsches andndash; it was known as the Poor Manandrsquo;s Porsche 924.
