Santa ¢lna, Call]ornia 92702

26 September 1969 Mr. Joe Schnieder, ~resident PCA/Los Angeles Region 8905 Reading Avenue Los Angeles, California 90045 Dear Joe, Purpose of this letter is to provide information on a trip to Europe in 1970, that is presently in the planning stage for the Orange Coast Region, in the hope it may be of interest to yourself and members of your region.

I was contacted a few weeks ago by Mr. Edward Snyder, Representative for Lufthansa German Airlines, and asked if our region would be interested in a trip, as a group, to Europe in 1970. As stated by Mr. Snyder, the flight for a minimum of forty people would be comparable with charter service in cost even though the group would travel on a regular scheduled flight. He further suggested that, as Porsche owners, we would probably be interested in an auto trip through Germany including a visit to the factory.

I felt that, in the interest of the Orange Coast membership, the matter should be investigated further.

In this respect, I asked Mr. Snyder to work up a possible itinerary and report back. One thought that occurred to me, and suggested to him, was that rather than confine the group to Orange Coast members, the neighboring PCA regions should also be considered.

In this way the minimum forty people would be more readily assured. In addition, I believed that being accompanied by PCA members of nearby regions would be interesting and enjoyable.

The regions that I was considering were Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Riverside, California Central Coast, and San Diego.

In this way the trip could be considered a PCA Southern California jaunt.

Mr. Snyder reported back on 18 July with the following tentative itinerary: (I)

A trip during the latter part of May 1970 would be best from the standpoint of cost and avoidance of the tourist season (tourist season runs from I June through the middle of August).

I realize the month of M~y is not a good one for members with children in school.

(2)

The air fare alone, for a group of forty or more, would be $370 per person (I understand the cost is $320 for a charter trip with the German Phoenix Club of Orange County).

(3)

The trip would consist of 15 days. The cost, as estimated by Mr. Snyder, would be between $550 and $600 and include the following: (a)

Air fare from Los Angeles and return.

(b)

First class hotels with private baths for each night (confirmed reservations).

(c)

Confirmed rental of cars such as Opel Kadets (Porsches would probably be out of the question from the standpoint of cost and ease of obtaining).

(d)

Breakfast meals

(e)

Auto trip through Germany with the route planned by Lufthansa,

provided. per

our

recommendations. They would handle hotel reservations along the route.

Mr. Snyder recommended the auto trip include a portion of Switzerland.

(4)

Lufthansa will arrange for the visit to the Porsche factory. They will also contact German Porsche Clubs along the planned route and arrange social gettogethers.

(5)

Ten percent of the trip cost must be paid four months prior to departure date (deposit is refundable up to three months prior to departure).

(6)

Conmmitment of intent to make the trip is required six months prior to departure in order to qualify for the air fare rate.

(7)

If interested, Lufthansa will arrange financing for the trip cost.

(8)

Mr. Snyder will obtain a factory cost list for the 1970 Porsches including the 914 and 914/6 For those interested, Lufthansa will arrange bank financing for the car purchase (including shipment home) and trip cost itself (25% total down will be required, however).

The trip is purely in the planning stage at this point. more firm information later.

Lufthansa will provide

I announced the proposed trip to the members of Orange Coast at the end of a competitive scenic drive on 21 September. I provided them with the same information contained herein. The proposal was very well received, and I was asked to pursue it further with Lufthansa. I am also publishing an article concerning the trip in the October issue of our "PANDEMONIUM." I am fairly enthused with this idea for a trip to Europe, especially with the other Southern California regions taken into consideration. Should you feel the same way, I would appreciate your contacting your membership by way of monthly publication, meeting announcements, etc., and providing them wit~ the information I have outlined herein. Those interested can drop me a card at my home address for expediency (460 Orion Way, Newport Beach, California 92660. Telephone 714/642~6096).

I would also like to obtain your impression and will keep you posted as the travel plan becomes more finalized.

Sincerely yours,

Paul I. Dickey, President PCA/Orange Coast Region
