First Impressions
by Tom Brown
This months cover comes from July 1978. Obviously
it features the logo from the 1978 Parade in Aspen
Colorado. Additionally, it also features an artistic
rendering of a stadium. There isn't any credit given
and the only comment in the magazine about the cover
is "Pretty interesting, isn't it?" I'll leave it at that. What
else was going on in the summer of '78? Porsches took
6 of the top eight spots at Le Mans, giving up only 1st
and 4th place. The region calender was full of socials
(San Diego Symphony Night, Beach Party, Mexican
Fiesta), two rallies and a Girls Nite Tech Session. Here
is a sign of the times: One rally was sponsored by a local
restaurant, with all participants receiving a free logo ash
tray. When is the last time that was a popular gift? (Oh,
and the prime rib dinner was $4.95.) Also in this issue
was an (uncredited) reprint of a test drive of the new
924 from a British magazine. The over-all conclusion
was that whatever it's shortcomings, it was a Porsche;
carefully and meticulously engineered. "The integrity
of the Porsche structure is something that can be felt.
That is why driving a Porsche, whatever it is and
whatever it does, feels good." I'll say it again, I'll leave
it at that.
