George Malos of Davis, Illinois is working on the restoration of his 1966 912. George is the original owner of the car.  It was originally Polo Red, but it was damaged during initial delivery and repainted green.  

 One of our favorite parts of the Lit Meet weekend is what we call the Shop Crawl. Many of the Porsche-centric businesses and restoration shops in the Los Angeles area open their doors to visitors to show off their wares. 

The crew here at Stoddard is at the 31st annual Porsche and Volkswagen Literature and Memorabilia Swap Meet at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton Hotel.  We took a bunch of pictures of the event to share with our customers.

Our crew will be attending the 31st annual Porsche and Volkswagen Literature and Memorabilia Swap Meet at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton Hotel.
