We are ready. Just my wife and I this year. My brother and his family are 900 miles away. My wife's brother is 90 miles away, but we are not invited. So I get lots of turkey leftovers!
We had an interesting Saturday. A local business that is a really nice place to store "spare" cars had their two year anniversary.
They asked if I would put my car on display as part of the celebration.
This is THE oldest Porsche sold new in North America. It came in through Max Hoffman. The factory has certified it as the oldest. It is a 1952 Pre A cabriolet.
It had no real gas gauge, so it comes with a dipstick to check the levels.
It was really nice before, but he had no idea what the original color was, so he painted it bright red. Then he finally got hold of the original Cardex, and it was listed as Strawberry Red. He had to track down the formula and John Willhoit had it. So he found a company in Texas that is super meticulous to strip it, down completely, and repaint it to the proper color.
He has a two volume "baby book" of every past owner, and photos from them, and tons of documentation. The original engine was long gone, but he found a brand new replacement case with no numbers, and had the numbers stamped on. Now it has a roller crank, so even more rare and expensive.
