While we love big shows like our LA Lit Meet or the Werks Reunion in Monterey,  we are often drawn to smaller, more intimate shows that feature a mix oif cars, not just our Porsches.

It isn't hard to find great Porsche events all over the world every weekend.  We are lucky in that just down the road in Granville,  Ohio, there's a great MOR PCA event we love to attend in late July every year. 

The 356 Club of Southern California moved their annual "World's largest 356-only fully-judged concours" to Huntington Beach's Central Park on July 22nd, 2017.  The new Central Park venue is over 350 acres with plenty of open spaces to park Porsches and gave a more open feel than the almost-cramped Dana Point location.      

Our 30th Annual Stoddard Swap Meet was held this past weekend—and our great customers and beautiful weather made it a rousing success. There were a record number of vendors and car show entrants this year.  We were wrapped around the block! 

Are you looking for a convenient way to work on your bare Porsche 911 or 912 chassis?  We have developed a heavy duty, professional quality body dolly that is perfect for your bare-tub Porsche restoration. The design is extremely stable and sturdy—each of the four 4.5-inch casters is rated at 5000lbs each and are designed to roll over uneven solid surfaces easily.

The chassis dolly is only intended to hold a bare 911, 912 or 356 Chassis.  You have to unbolt the engine, transmission and front suspension for it to work.  It is not intended to hold a completed car. 

There is now a 356 Adapter Available!  Click Here.

The Stoddard dolly ships in four boxes

10x10x17 inches, 40lbs.

16x11x11 inches, 40lbs.

50x6x4 inches, 50lbs.

50x9x6 inches, 45lbs. 

Have you ever met your hero and realized the Myth was greater than the Man? It happens all the time—we build up our idea of someone (or something) but reality often has a way of letting us down.  It doesn't happen every time though...

The 30th Annual Swap Meet is right around the corner—Friday, June 2nd and Saturday, June 3rd. Vendor Spots are almost sold out, with only a handful of open areas left.  

Our Literature and Toy Show on Friday starts at 6pm, but we have something new for your to do earlier in the day.  There will be several open houses of local Porsche shops! 

While we have been busy filling some shelves in our warehouse with parts for later model 911s,  we've also come across a treasure trove of vintage 996 Factory literature. We're passing this find along to you!  
   

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!
