Just wondering what the official year for the 50th Anniversary of the 914 is. Is it 2020 or 2019 ? I know in the past the United States got most Euro models a year after the introdution in Europe. Is that the case with the 914?

That was to celebrate Porsche's 25th anniversary. And in 1989, Porsche offered a 25th Anniversary 911.. and then they also had a 996 based 40th 911 Anniversary edition.. and a 991 based 50th anniversary 911...

I would think since the first 914s came out in 1969 as 1970 models, the precise Germans would celebrate in 2019. Lazy Americans might wait till 2020 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Maybe it was 10th? Unless there was a secret 911 in 1950 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The reason for my asking what is the official year, is that an East Coast Celebration could take place as part of the All Air Cooled Gathering 2019. We feature an air cooled model every year with special show field placement and one of a kind collectable gift. The 914 Porsche could be the featured model that year. Since we have the venue 3 days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with camping the first two days with the show and swap meet on Sunday, there is a possibility the 914's could have at least a 2 day event, with their own show and swap on Saturday and then partake in the All Air Cooled Gathering on Sunday.

If you don't already know, the venue is the German Swim and Sports Club in Flanders, New Jersey. This is private club consisting of 3 grass soccer fields surrounded by trees along with a club house, bar and full service kitchen. You couldn't ask for a better place to hold a car show!

Here is a You Tube video of this year's event:

Maybe those who run the Octeenerfest would be interested in combining the event, or anyone else who is currently planning a special event marking the 50th anniversary of the 914.

It's time to start planning now for such a special event!

Truly a well run and organized event. Good people, good food and drinks, and all reasonably priced. You know we'll be there. But having a national event to celebrate the anniversary would be great, but this is a big country, so maybe a mideast and midwest show simultaneously might be more inclusive. The Air Cooled Gathering, if chosen, could definitely pull it off very well.

West coast 50th anniversary is going to be in 2020 and being planned. East coast could be same year or 2019 totally up to the organizer. But you really need at least 8 months to plan something that big. Probably more like a year..
