This was our first year of ownership of the LA Lit and Toy Show and thanks to a very seamless transition and the help of the previous owners, it went fabulously.  We started our week off with new Bus Tours to area Porsche businesses before the big event on Saturday.  It wasn't over then, though, as there were open houses on Saturday afternoon and a big Porsche car show on Sunday in Anaheim. 

It's time to start thinking about the 2017 Stoddard Car Show and Swap Meet.  It's our 30th Annual Event! 

We found a treasure trove of old photos of Stoddard and we're posting them to celebrate our 60th Anniversary. Enjoy! 

John Truman working on a 911 engine in the 1980s.  John still handles our hinge and carburetor rebuild program. 

Last year, we posted some pictures that George Malos of Davis, Illinois working on the restoration of his five-speed 1966 912. Now that project is just about done.

We went back to the drawing board to develop 356 striker plates last year—for this year, we've developed our own exclusive line of 911, 912 and 964 striker plates that have all of the correct details made in-house. You can read more by clicking below or Order Them Now! 

West Coast Customs in California is working on a special 356 project with our help.  They're taking a Boxster chassis and reskinning it as a 356.  They are using our sheetmetal and trim pieces to make the transformation for Justin Bieber.

 2017 will be the 34th year of the Lit Meet. In 2016, almost 2,000 people attended the annual Porsche and Vintage VW Literature, Toy/Model, & Memorabilia Swap Meet at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton Hotel. The meet had over 300 tables with tens of thousands of collectibles—posters, sales brochures, toys, models, factory gift items, press kits, technical literature, small trim items, and accessories for Porsches and vintage VW’s.
