I'll be in Palm Springs from the 17th to the 21st for the Modernism Show. I'd love to see the car show and plan on being there at least one of the days.
Cheers, Elliot

That might be a fun day trip. I may have to head out.

If anyone brings a Porsche, especially a teener, I would like to have it in the car corral. Give me a heads up and I will get you in.

If I can make it, I'll be driving my car, but it's nowhere near as nice as yours.

I have been posting pics and back stories of some of the entries on Facebook. There is one Porsche of particular interest.

This 1952 Glockler Porsche is considered one of the earliest racing Porsches.

We'll be in town the first weekend. Sorry we'll miss you. Lots of nice mid-century homes in Austin I'm told.
Cheers, Elliot

I always have someone staying in my home in Palm Desert during the month of Feb. and March, so I never get down there for these really great events.
I may have to bite the bullet and pay to stay in Palm Springs and come down to the races and the Modernism event. I really love some of the mid century homes in the Coachella Valley.
