Had a great time at the L.A. Lit and Toy Show a couple weekends ago. My son was a real trooper waking up very early so we could make it to the LAX Hilton, and he handled the long day like a champ.

My son even got Magnus Walker's autograph.Always nice to spend a day with fellow enthusiasts. Until next year...

Just posted – my review of the new Porsche 911 F-Model: 60 Years, 1965–1973 on the PCA website.

More than just marketing tools, these pint-sized machines have become highly valued among collectors, fetching impressive prices at auctions. But Porsche Juniors aren’t just...

I don't have a Porsche 911 Targa (otherwise I might have kept this rare, but very eye-catching poster designed by Hans Lohrer), and it has now sold to an enthusiast  family that does. However, the Targa is more than just a striking design; it represents Porsche’s innovative response to a critical challenge in the 1960s. As U.S. safety regulations threatened to ban convertibles due to rollover risks, Porsche developed a solution that maintained the thrill of open-air driving without compromising safety. Debuting at the 1965 Frankfurt Motor Show and hitting the market in 1967, the Porsche 911 Targa featured a...
