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.

Our 1982 911SC gets a new interior that helps it stand out. This tan just isn't doing the car any favors. 

We have added a new prize the Stoddard collection – a 1982 911 SC. Not long ago this generation of 911 was considered too new to be a classic, and often lost in the shadow of the long hood cars. But in the past few years interest in the SC has increased dramatically as more people are appreciating these wonderful driver’s cars. 

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 Final Four voting for our We Can Save Them All contest is now underway and goes through May 31st.  You can check out who made it to the final round here. 

From the original 34 entries, here are the picks for the Dirty Dozen finalists in the We Can Save Them All  contest.  Voting on the 356 Registry Project Forum will go from May 8th to May 22.  

The top four will be chosen during that time and we'll have a second round of voting that will start on May 22nd and will go to May 31st to determine the overall winner.   The overall winner will receive $5000 in Stoddard sheetmetal and an additional $2500 in trim and other finishing parts for their restoration. 

We recently got a very nice note from a customer of ours, Dave DiMaria of Vintage Car Works.  A 1966 911 that they just restored has been doing well in concours events in Southern California.  The pictures look stunning! 

Here's the final rundown on the cars that have entered our We Can Save Them All contest
