There are a lot of great shops in the greater Los Angeles area, and while all of the Porsche world is in town for the Literature and Toy swap meet, some of the best ones are hosting open houses so fans of the marque can swing by and see some of the amazing metal they're working on. From Thursday through Saturday night, there are more than a dozen places to stop in for some Porsche ogling and conversation among your fellow enthusiasts.
When the Stoddard staff isn't busy setting up for, attending to, or tearing down our swap meet tables, you can bet that we'll all be out checking on our customers and their cars. If you see one of us, we'll be wearing our Stoddard polo shirts, be sure to swing over and say hello!
