Female customers have been buying Porsches since the automaker's first year of production.
Porsche has had some interesting customers over the years, including plenty of celebrities, but few can rival the life story of Jolantha Tschudi, a Swiss amateur pilot and the first female customer of the Porsche brand.
Tschudi made her fist solo flight at just 18 years old. She also studied ethnology, and in December 1946 set off on the first of what would be many trips to Africa to document indigenous people previously unknown to Europeans. In the ensuing years, Tschudi and her companion, a museum curator, would cover more than 8,000 miles in a single-engine Stinson airplane—with six emergency landings.
Tschudi would return to Africa several more times, but she also had an interest in terrestrial transportation. In 1948 she became the first woman to buy a Porsche when she purchased a dark blue 356/2 convertible from Bernhard Blank, a Zurich hotelier and one of the first Porsche dealers. The convertible was one of the first two cars Blank acquired; the other was a white 356/2 coupe.
