| [[Walter Glockler]] was a [[Volkswagen]] (among other marques) dealer in Frankfurt, Germany. Being a racer himself, and knowing of Dr. [[Ferdinand Porsche]]'s exploits with [[Auto Union]] and [[Cisitalia]] Grand Prix cars, he quickly saw the potential contained in Dr. Porsche's first post-war effort, the model [[Porsche 356|356]]. The '''Glockler-Porsches''' were 'specials' in that they were individually hand-built with each successive racecar integrating lessons learned from previous iterations. The first two Glockler-Porsches were designed by Hermann Ramelow, who using modified 356 underpinnings attached to custom-fabricated tube-frames of his own design. They all sported aluminum bodies designed and built by C. W. Weidenhausen. The first two were single-seaters with the engine and transaxle rotated 180 degrees so that the engine was mounted amidships. However, switching the engine location from the 356's rear-engined layout for better weight distribution also caused handling problems with the trailing arm (which initially became leading arm) suspension design. Because they could not fully solve the leading-arm suspension's handling problems (primarily, excessive toe-in under braking), they returned to the rear-engined chassis architecture for the third Glockler-Porsche (pictured). The first Glockler Specials were based on the early [[Porsche 356]] small-bore architecture. Their 1,086 cc engine size allowed them to compete in the under 1,100 cc categories. These engines, running on gasoline, put out a modest 50 hp. Running on alcohol, the small-bore engine put out just over 60 hp. The second Glockler-Porsche was built using a 1,500 cc Porsche engine that, again on alcohol, put out over 80 hp. The third Glockler-Porsche also used a 1,488 cc Porsche engine, but due to modifications by the Porsche factory, it put out 86 h.p. The first two Glockler-Porsches weighed under 1,000 lbs. The third, because it was a two-seater, built on a standard 356 cabriolet floorpan, weighed just over 1,100 lbs.
