Old porsche posters?

[porsche4life]

I was reading the article in excellence about old porsche posters and saw a few that intrigued me and wondered in anybody knows where to get repros to hang on the wall. I dont want a collectible i want a poster.

Old Porsche posters? A dear friend has a small fortune's worth of them on the wall of his garage...all picked up during the 1950's-1960's...and all firmly glued to the cement block wall...cannot be removed without destroying them. He didn't think of future value when he did this, but it sure was a neat way of assuring he'd hang on to them. I'd post a pic, but the pic will be coming out soon in a 356 registry magazine issue.

Cool. I'm jealous.

Probably not much use to you but if you ever make the pilgramage the Fan Shop at the Nurburgring has a good selection. I bought a few good ones the last time I was there.

My favourite:

Any ideas as to which issue? I think the mailman reads mine, it always shows up 2-3 weeks after I see articles praisign the new issue on 356talk...

I'm thinking maybe the January one? Or is it Dec-Jan? I'm going by what my friend wrote...can't quite remember. Hell, I'll say his name...Howard Shoemaker.
He & I have been pen pals for decades.

I think speedgear.com has some repros. Not of any from that Excellence article, but some similar to what layzee posted.

Not that big... that one is 20 x 27 roughly.

Some great links guys but none with the ones im looking for yet.

I usually get major wood when walking into my garage and have this poster staring at me on the wall

[cl8ton]

One more...prob a thread killer But I get off on this poster...YMMV

[dmcummins]

I kick myself everytime I see a post like this. I was at a local swap meet a few years back and a guy had a huge stack of old Porsche posters. He was selling them for $1 each. I did buy a set of old factory manuels for $20 that even included a competition parts list from 1970.

I picked up a few from a fellow PCA member a while back. Hung 'em behind plexiglass in the garage.

I don't know if any of you have heard of this site before but they have a couple of them

Sidney,

To answer your original question no one currently reprints the two posters you're looking for. Most of the current reprints done by PARC are of Porsche's racing result posters.

An original of the first image (1961) sold for $1100 at auction a few months ago.

[porsche4life]

yup those are the two. Thats a real bummer. Thanks for the info Carl. I dont think im willing to drop 1100 for something to tack on the garage wall.
