While we were in California for the Dana Point Concours, we stopped by Trevor Gates' house to check out his 356A Project. He was the winner of our "We Can Save Them All" contest with his car.

A high point of our yearly event calendar is the Dana Point Concours hosted by the 356 Club of Southern California. We sponsor the event and love to help support the club—we even jump in and help judge a couple of the Concours classes. With a beautiful location within view of the Pacific and an amazing group of beautiful and unique Porsches in attendance, this event was memorable for all who were there.

Cars and Coffee is an exciting car show featuring some fascinating cars that turn up for a brief car show on a Saturday morning. Stoddard was at the Tustin event on July 25th. Here's what we found there.
The 2015 Porsche Parade is off to a great start. Held at the beautiful French Lick Resort in Southern Indiana, the event has seen a great turnout of Porsche enthusiasts and their cars.


The Stoddard All-Porsche Lit Meet, Car Show and Swap Meet had a record year in 2015
for our 28th annual event.
Are you up for the challenge? Can you save the hopeless? Stoddard NLA wants to help save the worst 356 this year by giving away $5000 worth of free sheetmetal and $2500 in other parts for one lucky car (and owner!) Inspired by the recent barn-, field- and yes, even lake finds, Stoddard wants to help restore the most challenging 356 project, as chosen by the members of the 356 Registry.

The best part of the LA Swap Meet Weekend is always Friday’s shop open houses. Some great shops open their doors to let the public in and see the inner workings. Of course, we always love the opportunity to meet with these guys, as many of them are regular customers of ours. Seeing some of the projects they are working on first hand is an awesome opportunity that doesn't come around every day. So, here are the places we visited this Friday.
