PORSCHE MUSEUM - 50th ANNIVERSARY Options

[9146GUY]

I just returned from a trip to Germany and was able to go to the Porsche Museum and look at both the 914 & 917 50th Anniversary displays. I was not impressed with the 914 display. One section of it was on the main floor and there were only a few cars displayed and they were hidden behind a half wall. The other section was in a service/restoration area between the souvenir shop and the open area snack shop. It had 6 or 7 cars on display, but you couldn’t access that area and the cars were very poorly displayed. Pictures had to be taken through the glass wall and the fluorescent lighting left a bit to be desired.

Anyway, I have the description of the cars in one photo and then the pictures of the referenced car follow. The link to my Google album follows:

If anyone is interested in the other display, the 917 display was awesome. The cars are obviously well lit and displayed where you can go right up to them and visit. I have the description of the cars in one photo and then the pictures of the referenced car follow. I have added a couple of additional pictures of non 917 cars at the end. The link to my Google 917 album follows:

Thank you very much for doing this, too bad Porsche still does not care much for the 914. Also surprised that they would display a customer modified car. I guess that they will add a chevy v-8 or suburu powered 914 next? Porsche Atlanta headquarters will have a purer display starting July 14th and running for six months.

Damn George, I didn't know you had such disdain for modified 914s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I think it is great they showed a non-factory modified car.

Not all your customers have stock 914s.

I tote the line. If there is an historic display at Porsche it should be cars in the stock dress as produced. Let the modifieds show up with the customers who own them OUTSIDE the museum.

We are putting seven cars into the Atlanta Porsche museum next Sunday, and they will all be representatives of what the factory originally produced, except for the wider factory Fuchs wheels on the m-471 and the graphics on the original Motor Trend car of the year. Will be:
916
m-471
matsuda black limited edition
white limited edition
red 16,000 mile 76
71 motor trend car
5406 mile willow green 71

Also the brumos GT will be in the display

I figured the first and the last of the four cylinders, the two colors of the limited edition the racing and non racing gts and the 916 to have a good display of factory cars

Steve and William are coming up and down to help detail them this coming week. Should be a good tribute to the 914, I think better than Porsche Germany
