356 Registry East Coast Holiday
September 16 - 20, 2026
Lexington, Kentucky
The Porsche 356 Registry brings its East Coast Holiday to Kentucky for 2026: five days in and around Lexington, in the Bluegrass Region, with the 356 and the people who keep them on the road at the centre of it.
The Holiday is the premier event of the Porsche 356 Registry, and it goes back to 1975, when Ginny and Bob Gummow set up a national get-together so that the owners who read the club’s magazine could finally meet in person, swap what they knew, show off their cars and spend a few days immersed in all things 356. More than seventy editions have followed, every one of them put on by volunteers welcoming their 356 brethren somewhere new in the USA or Canada.
The Registry publishes the programme and the registration details on its Holiday page as they are confirmed.

Stoddard All Porsche Car Show & Swap Meet
June 2023
Highland Heights, Ohio
This year’s 2023 Stoddard All Porsche Car Show and Swap Meet was a treat: a warm and sunny weather forecast helped bolster the numbers of vendors and showgoers, and Mother Nature delivered! We had well over 100 car show entrants.
Les Checel’s purple 993 placed third in the show, while Ben Pallazzo’s Kiln Red 911 took second. Chris and Debbie Moore brought “Cashmere” and it took top honors in the show. We also had seminars, including Vic Skirmants talking 356 transmissions and Adam Wright on how to find and buy project cars!
Like every year, after the literature show on Friday, we headed over to Pete’s Custom Coachbuilding for a barbecue.

Porsche 911: The Evolution of an Icon
November 17, 2022 - April 2, 2023
Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, Cleveland, Ohio
What would the automotive world have missed if the Porsche 911 had been discontinued? That was exactly what Porsche planned to do in 1981. The Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum explored what might not have been with this exhibit of fifteen of Porsche’s finest sports cars, sourced around Northeast Ohio with help from the Northern Ohio Region of the Porsche Club of America.
Porsche has had a strong presence in Northeast Ohio since 1957, when Charles A. Stoddard, a former automotive engineer at Thompson Products (where Crawford Museum namesake Frederick C. Crawford was president), opened Stoddard Imported Cars (SIC) in nearby Willoughby, Ohio. One of the first Porsche dealers in the country, SIC grew rapidly as people discovered the pleasure of driving the small German sports cars.
The introduction of the 911 in 1963 further bolstered that success, yet it was threatened when Porsche decided to cease production of the 911 in 1981. Fortunately for car enthusiasts around the world, then-new Porsche CEO Peter Schutz, the first American to run the company, stepped in to save the day.
The exhibit featured a 959 supercar, a 930 Turbo, a 964 Carrera RS and a rare 911 M491 “Turbo-Look” Cabriolet, as well as two 911 race cars that ran in the Porsche Carrera Cup France and the Porsche Supercup series: stellar examples of what might not have been had Porsche discontinued the 911.

Stoddard All Porsche Car Show & Swap Meet
June 2022
Highland Heights, Ohio
Our 2022 All-Porsche Car Show and Swap Meet had a solid turn-out, great weather, and there were loads of neat cars in our parking lot for the show. Friday night’s literature meet was mostly held outside: the weather was beautiful, so the tents weren’t even needed!
A lot of 914s were in attendance: we counted at least 18 lined up, including several 914-6s. Chris Moore’s “Cashmere” won best in show, Maureen Arata’s 1969 Signal Green 912 took second in the Peoples’ Choice, and Mike Immarino’s 356A Coupe was third.

Stoddard All Porsche Car Show & Swap Meet
June 4 - 5, 2021
Highland Heights, Ohio
After a year or more of worldwide turmoil, it was nice to get back to what we love: looking at some sweet Porsches, finding bargains on vintage parts and talking to our friends from around the country. The 34th annual edition had its Friday night literature and toy meet outside, under a second “circus” tent.
We’ve been holding our Stoddard All-Porsche Car Show and Swap Meet since 1987, and this one had the most cars on display that we can remember. They were wrapped around the parking lot, accompanied by their owners, both young and old.
The vendor count was solid, but we were particularly happy with the show turn-out: plenty of neat Porsches, from early 356s through the latest models.

Stoddard Swap Meet
Saturday, August 29, 2020
Highland Heights, Ohio
Our 33rd annual Stoddard Swap Meet was held on Saturday, August 29th. A wet weather forecast, a cancelled car show and the current events all affected turn-out, but we were pleased with the attendance: approximately 40 vendors, and steady booth traffic throughout the morning.
We were limited by the state of Ohio’s restrictions on mass gatherings, so the car show portion could not happen, but there certainly were some nice looking Porsches in the parking lot for our “flea market”.

L.A. Lit & Toy Show
February 2020
LAX Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles, California
