All Porsche Swap Meet By Bruce Pollock
The highlight of the All Porsche Swap Meet on the 24th of February was in the parking lot and not for sale. This 356 Coupe was a joy to behold.
On the 24th of February, the All Porsche Swap meet was held on what, for Southern California, was a rather dreary day. As we drew near the parking lot, there was no question as to whether or not we were in the right place. I believe that what we saw was the largest assemblage of 911s and 356s I have ever seen in one place.
Inside the actual swapping area there was much uncertainty as to whether or not the turn out would be what everyone expected, and vendors were trying to decide whether to stay or leave before everything got totally soaked. Most stayed while some left early, seeming a little disappointed in the turn out. I’ll be looking forward to next year’s event when we all expect to experience normal weather. In the parking lot on our way out we saw what was the highlight of the day. It was a 356 A Coupe that was either an actual factory rally car or one that had been built by its owner to replicate that look. Exquisite is a word that doesn’t even really fully describe how well done this car was and the time transport created by its presence. continued on Page 4.
When you open an email from one of our board members it will look just like this (without the poppy). It is notification of an up-coming event and an invitation to join us. Response, contact info and other pertinent data about the event is included. Sometimes events grow from concept to reality in a short period of time. When that happens these email notices may be the only way we have of contacting you in time. All the more reason to be sure your email info is up-todate. Make your updates at www.pca.org. When we receive notice about when we will be able to drive to and view the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, this is how we will be notifying you. Keep watching your email for the notice.
