Update from the 67th Porsche Parade in Palm Springs

from July 2023 Anzeiger

by Oregon Region Porsche Club of America

ANZEIGER MARKETPLACE

We are home from a quick five-day trip to the 67th Porsche Parade in Palm Springs at the La Qunita Resort. The first two days were spent in meetings with my fellow Zone reps, the PCA Executive Council (EC) and the PCA National Chairs. It was a great opportunity to learn from others who have the same role as I. It was also good to hear what is happening, although I missed the opportunity to see Jerry Seinfeld drive off in his recently acquired PCA Classic Club Coupe. Jerry was the successful bidder, at $1.2 million, for this one of one Porsche.

I am happy to report that Zone 6 received two awards at Parade. Webmaster Heinz Holzapfel was recognized for his work on the Zone 6 website, winning first place in the Zone website category. In the Class V Newsletter category, Anzeiger, Oregon Region’s newsletter, won top honors. Congratulations to editor Peg Ryan.

While in Southern California, we took the opportunity to take in some side trips. First on the list was to visit the Petersen Museum’s ‘We are Porsche’, 75th Anniversary of Porsche stories. The exhibit was great, and if you have the opportunity to go, I highly recommend you take the time.

Porsche’s 75th anniversary celebration continues at your local Porsche dealer. While at Parade, we took the opportunity to visit Porsche Palm Springs, which had a new 911 Sport Classic on display. Unfortunately it was not for sale. This fall the celebration continues with Rennsport Reunion VII at Laguna Seca.
