The move from Car Bodies to Racing SeatsNew car manufacturing methods reduce the size of the car body market in the 1950s, and Reutter finds itself on hard times. In 1963 Porsche takes over management of the entire company and renames it Recaro GmbH & Co, changing the company focus to producing top quality seats for Porsche vehicles, and the company ceases producing Vehicle Bodies entirely.
