You need to do a high res scan 1st.

I need to find a big enough flatbed and I would!

I happen to have access to a large printer, but not scanner. ;)

Funny :)

What year did this ad come out? I totally remember seeing it back in the day.

Staples will do large scans. Have had them scan house plans for about $2 per page.

Hi,
on my search for the targa poster, i found this thread.
is there a chance to get one of those?
i'm looking either for a poster to buy (but i'm not willing to pay 999$, i'd invest ~100$.
but - of course - i would love to have a high res scan.
has anybody found something like that meanwhile?

porsche4life, you wrote in #42, you would scan, if you had a big enough scanner. da911 recommended staples in #44. thats the last post. did that work?
is there a chance to get such a scan?
would a little financial incentive help?

help me!

I would bet money that Staples or any other commercial service provider will not scan it. It is a copyrighted image. They could be fined $250,000 or more.

dont you do your scanning there yourself?

I asked one staples and they didn't have a big enough flatbed. They suggested to check other stores. I just haven't had a chance. It's in a tube on a shelf and keeps getting forgotten about! Let me call around, I'll tell them it's for archival purposes!!!

I highly doubt that it would be enforced. It's not an official Porsche publication, and maxell made it as promo item, not something they'd be looking to recreate I bet.

I might be able to find someone in the studios to do it on a large format scanner. I'll check.

There are two companion advertisements/posters. The most commonly seen one is where the model is sitting next to a set of speakers and the sound is apparently blasting his hair and clothes back. The other photo is of the "exploding" targa top. The first one is fairly easy to find and isn't all that expensive because Maxell owns the rights to the photo and they license it periodically for reproductions. Steigman kept the right to the Porsche photo and neither he nor his estate have licensed it for reproduction. Apparently he licensed it to Maxell for the ad campaign and kept the rights afterword. So all of the Porsche posters are original to the ad or the poster that was sold or given away briefly without the ad copy when the ad campaign came out. That's why the Porsche posters are rare and expensive.

For what it's worth, the estate holds the rights to the Porsche poster and enforce the copywrite. I don't know if a commercial copier would object or not.

I have the top one. Just to clarify. I'll see if I can get a scan done this week.

I'd be in for one also, as long it wasn't too much $

I have both Original (Targa & Chair) in Tubes - I'll see if I can find a place to scan them

I've been looking for a good quality original for a while. If anyone can provide a high-def. scan (like 600 dpi or better) of the full-size (24x36?) poster I'd love to get my hands on it - I have access to a high-res plotter and would just print up a couple of copies for myself then frame & mount.

A proper scanned image (.tif) is going to be pretty large - probably on the order of 100-200MB.

Would be interested in one also thanks

There is a simple sentence in the world of copyright. If it was created, it is copyrighted.

As long as you don't try to sell the scans or the prints and do it for yourself you are likely OK. It you distribute it, they CAN come after you big time. And for sure don't put a Porsche logo on there. Porsche AG would be all over you. Just be prudent.

hey, it would be so(!) great, if the scanning would work out!
quality note: if possible, it would be great to have a quality for printing it in 90x60.
filesize doesnt matter :)
hopefully .. ;p

... and by 90x60 i mean 91cm x 61 cm, so its the same as above in inch (24x36) :)

got the first and framed it perfectly :)
still hoping to get my hands on the 2nd.
is there any chance one got it scanned or will get it scanned..?
dont wanna hurry nobody but all the replys some weeks ago made me so confident ..:cool:

I've still got it. Only been able to find one staples with a big enough scanner and every time I call they say it's broken. Working on it!!

I've been slammed but let me try some of my graphics contacts and see if I can get a good recommendation.

ok, great, thanks again!
Wont hurry you for the next some weeks ;)

Back in 1998 or so when we first got our '87 Turbo we used to go to all the PCA events in San Diego and at one of the "BBQ's" at Mission Bay Park there was a guy with a red Targa. Everyone had their hoods and deck lids open and I had just put in a much larger intercooler and such but the guy with the red targa had 4 or 5 huge amps on a panel in the front trunk. He said the previous owner had wired the car and used to have it in shows and it could make the roof jump. So he started the car up and then cranked up the sound system. Good Lord it made a can of beer that was sitting on the roof fly off! Several others set their beers on the roof and away they went! Sure wish I had my camera with me that day.

AFAIK, there are two versions of this out there.
This one has the artist's and studio's name. I bought one for about $10 on eBay and it came mounted to foam board.

The other I've purchased several times is just like the more famous "Blown Away" ad. It seems to come up more often for sale, and I've never seen it professionally mounted.

I'll try to post a pic of the second style - the first is above.

hm, interesting ..
dont know what you mean by the other version, eager to see your pic
anyway, i cant find any version to buy as a poster ...

These are the two I know of.

I think this one only comes matted to foam board - at least that's the only way I've ever seen it:

And I've gotten a couple of these over the years as posters:

ah, nice ...
Also a great poster! But also nowhere to find ..
Btw whats that other picture with the drive in cinema? A regular poster?

That print is "Hotshot Eastbound" by O.Winston Link. He knew the days were numbered for the steam locomotives and went about staging dramatic photos of their final days.

Mine is mounted on a foam board as well. I thought someone did that when they had it framed. I always thought the posters had a white border but mine is grey.? Maybe it's just the way they look in a picture.

Hello altogether again :)
Browsing by, I just wanted to ask if thinks have progressed in any way :D
First picture is hangig on the wall, left a spot for the targa ;)
Can I incent you in any way? Maybe sent you a can of german bratwurst :)
Greetings from Munich!

what does gfhsft mean?

Just a bunch of random letters that the spammers use to get an account- one of the easy ways to spot them, then they usually plagiarize a couple sentences from a previous post followed by a link to whatever crap they're trying to peddle.

does anyone realize here that the OP was 10 years back?? Let it die..

I do have one and have every intention to get it scanned. Kept trying for a while and staples scanner was broken. Then I started a new job and sick family member moved in with us, so it got put on the back burner. I'll try to get it soon.

sure, no question, there are things that are more important. i hope your family member is well! just write me or post if something is happening :) best wishes!

You know what, thank you for that comment.

I just looked up Corbusier. I think I want the chairs and sofa for the new office. Many thanks!!!
