^ 000 is located in San Rafael, California—about 12 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge and 15-20 minutes from Sears Point Raceway and the wine country. Maybe we do a reasonable Cars and Coffee here on a Saturday morning, then folks could go on drives west to the coast or north to Sonoma...and reconvene at a fun place for dinner? There's a parking lot here that can accommodate 35~ (maybe 50?) cars, so we could probably sign on to host a morning visit/meeting.

Maybe we talk to Glen and Justin about doing a special 000 poster for the deal, and I could take folks through the back story of the two eight-cylinder 914s, and the 000 photo shoot that put them together on camera for the very first time (I was surprised by this, too) while also reuniting them with the man who built them. Neat guy, and there are a lot of photos we couldn't use.

No promises/just thinking out loud...but could be fun?

I would definitely be in for a poster; also would be interested in a SF North Bay Area Porsche 914 Cars and Coffee. Mine was built in December 1969.

All right, the 914 debuted at the Frankfurt IAA in 1969, which was 9/11 to 9/21:

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/history/por...mera-16904.html

Per Ludvigsen:

-Porsche told the FIA it had started making cars in July 1969
-Production in significant qty didn't come until November 1969
-914-6 deliveries in Europe began in February 1970

Curious what our 914world historians have to say on dates, and do we want to pick one or go with best time of year? Or?

I think I am up for the following:

-Coffee with parking for 914s @ 000 (if car count is < 60~)
-"Back story" on the "914/8" photo shoot/story/man who built them
-Long-distance award for 914 driven from farthest distance
-Long-distance award for 914 fanatic from farthest distance
-(Possibly) creating an event poster w/designer Justin Page & artist Glen Cordle

Parking lot has 55 spots, and then at least four more spots without blocking cars in, so 59. Maybe 10-20 more cars could be brought in by double parking and better use of a few very wide spots. Would need to look at what other businesses are open on weekends, but typically none except the orthodontist's office are (and she's only open every other Saturday and super cool—or we target a Saturday she's closed).

I would rather keep this simple from 000's standpoint—so keeping the parking lot display free in the best KISS tradition and keeping this casual seem like a good way to go?

If someone else wants to organize drives, a dinner, etc, and turn it into a weekend, I suspect it could be a pretty fun time. There are worse places than San Francisco (maybe a line of 914s needs to recreate "The City Porsche" ad?) or the Wine Country, or the coast. The area has endless options for lodging, food, sight-seeing, etc. One could also do an add-on long trek north or south on good roads for those with the time to do so. Is there any better way to celebrate the 914 than driving them on the kinds of roads they were made for?

Paul,

We are honoring the VW Porsche 914 on its 50 anniversary at the 15th annual All Air Cooled Gathering. We have commissioned an artist to create a special limited signed and numbered poster for the event and will be given to all 914 show car attendees.

There is a thread in the Garage that I will update shortly with more information. If you don' already know we get 300 + air cooled cars at the event every year.

Seeing as I have yet to come across a 1969 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) we have big plans for a week long 50th Anniversary WCR in 2020! But more about that later.

I haven't personally seen them but the two prototypes were built in 1969.

Besides.....I just wanted to go up North and drink wine in Pete's parking lot.


Can't we do that again the following year?


Just sayin.
