ON EXHIBIT
By Jake Welk
LeMay – America’s Car Museum hosted the official opening of their newest exhibit, Porsche at 75, on February 4th to a sold-out crowd of over 600 enthusiasts, all in attendance to see an incredible assembly of some of the most significant Porsche models created over the world-renowned auto manufacturer’s past 75 years in business.
Fueled with coffee and German-inspired bites curated by local catering company Café Pacific Catering, and after some opening remarks from ACM Executive Director Gary Yamamoto, it was finally time for what everyone came for – to see the vehicles unveiled from their covers. Longtime friend of AAT and ACM and the host of CarsYeah podcast, Mark Green took the stage and officially announced the reveal of the Porsches.
One by one, as Mark narrated in play-by-play fashion, the car covers were pulled back revealing over seven decades of automotive engineering excellence. Crowds gathered around each vehicle as it was unveiled, cameras and phones in hand capturing the moment. After all 20 Porsches in the exhibit were revealed, guests lingered to see each of the cars up close, speak with the exhibitors, and share stories amongst each other. The enthusiasm created by the record-breaking attendance at the event was contagious, and with the Porsches on display until January 2024, this exciting opening looks to carry the momentum for this special exhibit over the next 12 months.
