Year	1987
Make	Porsche
Model	928
Color	Pearl white metallic (factory, #947) w/black & whi
Packages	5 speed, LSD, no rubstrips
History	Perl Blog The story of the Perl I'd assumed it was the original owner, Linda M, but that still left unanswered questions. Mainly, how did she know to order all the special options and paint (ie lumbar, sport shocks, LSD, & rub strip delete). A few days ago, I tried to contact the OO via the guy I bought it from, John, who was one of her sea captains. Spoke with John and unfortunately, Linda is not in the best of health. She has cancer. John mentioned the the guy I should talk to is Darrel J, Linda's first captain. Upon speaking to him I found he cared for Perl from '95 -'02 while under Linda ownership (backed up by receipts in his name from that time). He said he loved Perl and took his family on trips with it. He even noted he wanted to buy it from John just before I did. Got lucky, I did. Darrell is a great "car guy" and we had a good talk! He said "knowing Linda, she wouldn't have special ordered any car. She was more of a go to the dealer and pick one out type. She had many cars" So we put together that Perl was a deal spec'd showroom car for early '87. The release of the S4 was much anticipated and the dealers really wanted to "lead with their best foot". Linda must've walked into Rockville Porsche and bought it right out off the showroom floor. And that's the story as I know it. Trail goes cold after that as Rockville has no history going that far back.
