Porsche Reutter Coachworks
Founded in 1906 by Wilhelm Reutter.
Reutter Carosserie-Werke became known for building limousine bodies during the 1920s. In 1930 they started producing bodies for the Volkswagen Beetle, and in 1949 Porsche started using their bodies for their sports cars.
It didn't take discerning auto enthusiasts very long to realize that these Reutter-bodied Porsches were built to a higher standard than could be found on vehicles from most competing nameplates. Reutter's exemplary workmanship was evident in the quality of components and in overall fit-and-finish.

When operations moved to Stuttgart, it marked the beginning of a
close working relationship with the nearby Reutter coachworks - to
become the main supplier of Porsche bodies for nearly two decades,
before being annexed into the Porsche organization.It didn't take discerning auto enthusiasts very long to realize that these Reutter-bodied Porsches were built to a higher standard than could be found on vehicles from most competing nameplates.
