Mike Brodigan, President
Man, it’s cold out! I am
writing this in early
February, so I hope by the
time this reaches our mailboxes the cold
weather will be just a distant memory.
My problem is I have to face the cold
again soon. Let me explain. The great
news is we will be celebrating our mom’s
90th birthday this month (isn’t that great!); the bad news
is we are celebrating it in my frigid hometown of Fargo,
North Dakota. (This is where I get “I have never met
anyone from North Dakota.”) My mom loves Fargo. She
wears a button that says “minus 33 degrees keeps out the
riff raff.” Keeps normal people out, too. If I remember
correctly, they have spring temperatures sometime in July.
You would think that I could deal with it because I spent
my first 30 years there, but all that has done is make me
appreciate Texas. In Texas I can drop the top down in
my Boxster all 12 months, we have driving events from
February to December, and we can wash our Porsches
almost anytime we want. I guess this is the long way
to say I love Texas in the springtime. So ladies and
gentleman, take the time to enjoy the weather and your
awesome P car and go outside and have some fun! If
you need some ideas, check our website and click on the
events tab. This month is loaded with activities including
a Tech Session, an Autocross School, a Sunday Drive, and
even a new monthly Trivia contest! Our second
Driver Education event is in April, as is our first
Autocross and Time Trial events.
Spring is also the time of year for street
festivals. Two of my favorites are Main Street
Days in Grapevine, and the Fort Worth Art
Festival. All the street food, music, things
and people to see are a blast. I hope they can
resurrect Mayfest again this year. It’s a neat
place to take your kids. The Celtic festival in
Dallas is a can’t miss, and the St Patrick’s Day
parade down McKinney Street is a great party.
I hope to see you soon, out enjoying the Texas
spring.
that makes everyone around her feel great. Christy is the
current Selcer Award recipient that recognizes her superior
performance and dedication.
For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver
Fox in Grapevine is giving Christy dinner for two at
their award winning steak house.
Christy, thanks for all you do!

Richard Bradley, Managing Editor
Wow, I think we did it again!
A full issue dedicated to
Porsche and those known
as Mavericks. With the year in full swing,
there are a lot of activities to pick from
including social events, driving events,
even cleaning events. After our recent
record snow fall, I’m sure spring will
soon be in the air waiting for the sound of our flat sixes
or the newer V8’s. So if anyone has stories to share, this is
the place. Remember, if you have done something Porsche
related and had fun doing it, send me a write up. It’s always
great to hear about your adventures. I’ll publish them in the
coming months for others to enjoy, too.
There are two new Slipstream advertisers I’d like to
mention. First, there is one a lot of you are probably familiar
with and that’s Texas World Speedway. They have a world
class facility and host many track events. Secondly, there’s
Yellow 7 a leader in marketing, advertising, design and
search. They were selected by Goldline Research as one of
the 10 Most Dependable Web Design Firms of Texas. So if
you have a need for speed or more business, support our
advertisers. It’s not just the cars!

Maverick Minutes
Lisa Steele, Secretary
Mr. President Mike Brodigan
started off the meeting with
giving a BIG Thanks to
Christy for a great New Member Party!
With 106 people in attendance, this was by
far the most well attended New Member
Party we have ever had. Fabulous job
Christy!! Mike also reported that the
Zone 5 Meeting will be held on March 27th in San Antonio.
Regional issues are discussed at this meeting and it is open
to anyone who would like to attend. If you are interested,
please contact Mike Brodigan or James Shoffit (our Zone
5 Representative). Mike’s third item on his agenda was
to discuss the suggestions we received from the suggestion
box at the New Member Party. One suggestion was not
to have a suggestion box because we are doing a great job
with all of our events. Another suggestion was that the club
should consider purchasing a microphone system to have
at our events for people to hear various announcements,
door prizes, etc. John Hamilton and Lisa Steele agreed to
look into the cost of these systems. Mike finished his list of
topics and then we were off to our round table reports from
each chair.
Jim Falgout would like to have budget worksheets
from all chairs ASAP. Jim also inquired about how the club
handles promotion of car shows that are not put on through
our club. After a bit of discussion, a motion was set that
we should not promote other car clubs events through
Slipstream or on our calendar due to space restraints. A
vote was taken and all agreed on this motion.
Jack Griffin reported that he has several Concours
events already scheduled on the calendar. June 6th will
be the Cooper event at the Cooper Aerobics Center. On
October 9th, a Concours will take place at the Swap Meet
at Zims. Jack is also trying to arrange something with Fifth
Gear but it is yet to be determined at this time.
Ed Mullenix announced that there is a tech session
scheduled for March 13th at Autoscope. The dyno pulls will
be open from 9:00am-12:00pm. The GM Steve Foreman
will also be picking up the lunch tab at Babe’s in Carrollton.
Please RSVP to make sure you get an opportunity to get
your car on the dyno. Ed and Clint Blackman have joined
together to bring you a Tops and Dogs tech session on May
8th. If you own a car with a convertible, this day is for you.
There will be cleaning supplies available to you on this day
to get your car in tip “top” shape.
Pat Friend reported that the Goodie Store conversion
is very close and members can see a sample of what the
site will look like at mav.webstore.us.com. This site will
accept PayPal.
Bob Lewis reported that the Happy Hour at Blue Mesa
had a very good crowd of 40 people. February’s HH was
at iFratelli and the Happy Hour for March will be at Uncle
Julios.
Teri Davis wanted to give everyone a heads up that the
2011 Parade site is in jeopardy. She will keep us posted
with any changes.
Charlie Davis announced that he can no longer be
responsible for getting the Truxster to various events due to
health reasons. It will be the responsibility of the Autocross
Chair and Time Trial Chair to make arrangements for
someone to drive the Truxster to their events. Charlie has
graciously offered to keep the Truxster parked at his home
for the time being until other arrangements can be made.
Keep yourself healthy, Charlie!
Bryan Bell reported that insurance is ALL covered. He
also wants to make sure that the secretary does not forget
to put in the minutes that there will be NO Board Meeting
before Parade in July. The secretary has done her job and
can now check that off her list. Thanks, Bryan Bell, for
keeping me in line!
Clint Blackman reported that Sunday Drives are all
scheduled. Check out the calendar and sign up for one
8

these awesome drives.
Robyn Howard announced that the Driving Schools
need workers, students, and instructors so please go register
ASAP.
Travis Howard would like for everyone to know that
he has gone another month without a speeding ticket in his
996. He also noted that the Time Trials are getting closer so
go get signed up.
Lisa Steele announced that the Club Race is just around
the corner and she is beginning to work on caterers and
other hospitality arrangements.
Christy Payne reported that she has LOTS of ideas for
some GREAT Social Events. She is looking at combining
a Ladies Spa Day with the car show already scheduled on
June 6th at the Cooper Aerobic Center. They have a fabulous
Spa on sight that could pamper our wonderful ladies of the
Maverick Region. Christy also reported that there were
5 people who attended the Thursday lunch at Kincaids,
one of whom was a new member. This is a new location
so hopefully it will catch on and will have more people
attending next month. Christy also brought up the idea of
whether the officers should have name badges. There was a
motion and a vote. Officers will get name badges.
Christy reporting for Denny Payne wants to make sure
that ALL chairs need to contact Denny if they have any
information they need posted on the website. Please do not
assume that Denny will just know that you need something
posted. Christy also announced that the current ad on
the web for Habitat will change on the 15th to an ad for
Autocross schools and course design.
Wendy Shoffit is working on Club Race registration
duties.
Carey Spreen got some good feedback from people at
the New (All) Members Party about possibly doing some
combination Rally events with Clint Blackman and his
Sunday Drives. Combination events seem to get more
people in attendance.
John Hamilton reported that the first DE is coming
March 6th-7th. A pizza happy hour is in the works for
Saturday night at the LaQuinta. The last happy hour which
included a cookout by Keith Olcha was a huge success.
Jan Mayo speaking for Richard Bradley asked Christy
if she would write an article about the New (All) Members
Party. Christy agreed to get Denny to write it.
Jan Mayo reported that not all advertisers have paid so
she is going to have to get out the Big Guns and get mean
about collecting the money. I have seen her guns so I hope
for everyone involved that you PAY quickly. We will also
have two new advertisers (Texas World Speedway and
Yellow 7 Interactive) that will start in March.
That completes the round table discussion and it is back
to Mike to announce the Mav of the Month. This month’s
recipient is none other than…Christy Payne!
Congratulations Christy!!
March 9

New (All) Members Party
by Denny Payne
It goes without saying that a lot of us like to
evangelize for the Maverick Region whenever we
encounter prospective members and new Porsche
owners. So what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon
than at a party
arranged just for that
purpose? The All-
Member party was
held on January 31st
for the 3rd year in a
row at a splendid clubhouse
in Keller at Heritage Trace
that Rally Chair Carey Spreen
helped arrange for us. In the
past, we’ve referred to this
event as the New Member
Party, since it is primarily for
the purpose of welcoming new
members into the club and helping them to understand all
the events that Maverick Region puts on. But we’ve noticed
that it’s also one of the rare times of year that members that
would normally attend only
social events reacquaint
themselves with fellow club
members that might only
participate in driving events,
so it was fitting that the All
Members Party kicked off
2010 with more than 100
club members in attendance.
The event chairs were
given name tags that said
“Ask me about ____” with
the name of their area of expertise filled in. They also
brought all kinds of information so that new members
could get their questions
answered, from “What is
a DE?” to “Where can I
get my Porsche serviced?”
to “What is the airspeed
velocity of a swallow?” OK,
well I got that tongue-incheek
question because my
name tag, along with a few
others like Jan Mayo and
Wendy Shoffit, said “Ask me
about Anything” - presumably
because we frequent a lot of
different club activities. Or
maybe just to harass us. In any
case, the name tags did seem
to help “break the ice” with a
lot of the new members. I saw
many excited expressions on
everyone’s faces as we chatted
about our passion for Porsches and all the fun things we do
as a club.
Spread out amongst all the tables promoting Rally, DE,
Autocross, Time Trial,
etc. etc. was a feast of
all kinds of snack food.
For her first event as
the new social chair,
Christy Payne made
sure that no one went
hungry! None of the
new members went
home empty-handed either; they were given a Maverick
Region Porsche Club
license plate frame as
well as some other
goodies. Some also
won a few of the door
prizes that were given
away during the party.
Most importantly
though, many of them
Photos by Charlie Davis
resolved that they would be
seeing the rest of us soon at
the Autocross School or
Happy Hour or a DE! So for
anyone reading this that
didn’t make it this time, come
on out, this party’s just
getting started!

So you want to drive a Racecar!
by Bob McAfee
It’s every Porsche enthusiasts dream to drive a
racecar. But how do you do that? Do you want to
spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to have your
own race team and an
expensive to maintain
racecar? No, probably
not. But this doesn’t
have to prevent your
dream from becoming
reality. So what do
you do? Well, with
the advent of the new
and fast growing Spec
Boxster series you can
go racing with a small
investment of time and
money. What is a Spec
Boxster? That is a
good question, one that can be answered many ways. The
purpose of this class of racing is to keep the cars relatively
equal and to put emphasis on the driver’s abilities, not the
size of the driver’s wallet. While a few Spec Boxsters are still
street legal, most of these cars are built as track-only race
cars. There are some choices that are up to the driver, but the
rules require some specific modifications to be made. This
limits the cost of building the car while making them safer
and more reliable.
Where do you get a Spec Boxster? If you have the time and
skills you can build your own. For those that don’t, there are
companies that can build the car for you. RAC Performance
is one of many builders all across the country that build
these race cars
to the same
specification,
so you can
race them
locally, or race
against drivers
in other parts
of the country.
Whether you
choose to
build it or have
it built, the first step is to choose a “donor car.” It has to be
a 1997-1999 Boxster with a 5-speed manual transmission.
How do you choose the right car? The main thing to
consider is the drive train. You’ll want to make sure that
the drive train in your donor car is stock. A lower mileage
well maintained car is the best choice. The body and paint
condition are a moderate priority, while the interior doesn’t
14
Part I
matter, as most of it will be removed. Since these cars have
been around a long time low mileage Boxsters are getting
harder to find. This isn’t a big concern since a lot have been
raced with over 100,000 miles on
them. There are things that can be
done to help the longevity of the
engine and transmission. Most
of the companies that build Spec
Boxsters can also acquire a donor
car for you, if you can’t find a good
one on your own.
Now that you have your donor
car what do you do? First thing is
stripping out the interior and
removing the entire cabriolet top.
This helps in getting the car down
to race weight and to make room
for the roll cage and race seat. If
the removed parts are in good condition, you may be able to
sell many of them. The next step is to install a roll cage.
You will need a full cage, not just a roll bar. It will need to
meet strict specifications, so it is important to know the
rules before taking this very important step. A bolt-in cage
is allowed, but we recommend a welded-in cage as they are
much safer and
can be custom
built to your

Matt, at Lemco
Motorsports,
in Cedar Hill
builds all of
our roll cages
to our specific
requirements.
We send the
car to Lemco
to get the cage
built and fully welded in. Along with the car we send the
race seat and new aftermarket hardtop so these can be fitted
properly with the cage. Lemco starts with straight tubing
specifically manufactured for roll cages, and then custom
bends each section to fit. Once everything is fitted, it is then
welded in. With this method, the car and roll cage become
one unit. Up to this point, we have chosen a donor car,
stripped it down, and taken care of the basic structural
modifications. Once the car comes back from having the
roll cage built, it is time to start adding parts and equipment
onto the car, to make it race ready. We’ll continue to build
our Spec Boxster in the next Issue of Slipstream.

Cliff’s Ramblings
by Cliff Blackshear
Mavericks made the journey to Sebring
for the largest Porsche Club race of the
year and entered five cars and five drivers
including my shops driver John Gladwill in the SP Box
class. It was everyone’s first time driving this historic
track so emotions ran high with anticipation. We knew
we were entering the back yard of multiple others that
were very familiar with the track and that a good outcome
was going to be difficult, but worth
the effort. Some friendly banter
was tossed back and forth between
the east coast guys, us and those
that were running SP Boxsters.
Driver/owners that came out were
(listed in alphabetical order):
John Gladwill #150, Michael Hsu
(pronounced Shu) #377, Glenn
Smith #717, Bill Stevens #190,
and Steve Watkins #116. I must insert one thing Michael,
is actually from Austin and a member of the Lone Star
Region. His car has seen a lot of prep in our shop and he
hangs with us so he is a Mav in my book as well.
Test and tune day went well with all cars performing
flawlessly. First recorded lap times were pretty conservative
as the drivers learned the track. Most times were in the
2:42 to 2:45 second range during the first session. By the
end of the final session that day, times were dropping into
the 2:36 to 2:40 range.
Pitted next to us were the guys from Werkstatt,
Charlottesville. On the other side of us was Cory Jump
from Planet 9 Eleven. These folks felt like extended
family by the time the weekend was over. The guys from
Werkstatt, brought 4 Spec Box cars and Cory had two
911’s with him. Cory won the night race in his field last
year at Sebring and has been to the track many times. His
input and willingness to help with anything was most
valuable and so appreciated. Likewise, the guys from
Werkstatt became major players in our overall outcome
and also were very appreciated by us.
The guys from Werstatt were just getting started in
the Box class and their cars ultimately did not make the
enduro. Yet it was apparent to us that they will be a force
to reckon with in future meetings. They had one engine
grenade with a cylinder liner failure, one started knocking
and lost a rod bearing due to debris in the oil from spark
plug tube damage (long story). One driver DQ’d due to
an incident and I cannot remember what happened to the
fourth car. We showed up with cars that had been tested,
tested, retested. Our guys had managed to break just about
everything that was gonna fail in the last year or so and
Nobody Is Perfect
the lessons had been learned about what works and what
doesn’t. Yet, I could tell these guys “get it.” They just need
time to develop as we have already done. Folks, we finished
the weekend with not one single major mechanical failure
in a rapidly growing class that has only just started to get
going.
Friday, Bill was involved in an incident that resulted
in the end of his efforts. It was
unfortunate and luckily his car
was not really hurt at all. Before
we found out he could no longer
race due to the rules, I had his car
repaired and ready for combat. This
turned out to be an amazing turn of
events that was both unfortunate for
him and had all of us upset and yet
presented an opportunity to keep
one other car going.
On Saturday, another driver hit John. The impact took
out both radiators, radiator supports, bent the suspension
and heavily damaged the left front fender. While John was
away talking with Stewards and reporting his side of the
incident we went to work. Bill gave us permission to use
anything we needed from his car. So radiators etc. were
removed from #190 and installed on #150 along with
all the mountings. Fenders were beaten into submission,
cooling system was bled and a little duct tape was used to
ensure the left headlight did not leave it’s home.............
The Werkstatt guys gave us full access to their alignment
equipment and assisted in getting the suspension geometry
corrected which was awesome!
Michael’s car had developed two problems as well
during the last couple days. Traqmate data logger suddenly
did not work and was blowing fuses. The wire harness was
damaged as well, due to someone, (I’ll not name them here
Michael) replacing the fuse with a larger component that
overwhelmed the 1.0mm wire cross section. Wiring burned
from inside the car all the way out to power source under
March 17

Sebring Rambling continued...
front hood. With the use of a Volt/OHM meter I finally
tracked the short to the Traqmate factory connector. Inside
the connector the metal studs the wiring is attached to
were intermittently touching. Once isolated, we ran new
circuits and got things going. Next
his exhaust broke and was emitting
heat towards the bank one side of
the trans mount melting the rubber
surroundings. John had indicated
earlier in development of Michael’s
car that that system looked weak.
Plus one failure had already occurred
during previous track sessions a
few weeks before. The guys from
Werkstatt jumped right in and gave us the exhaust off the
car that was on their trailer with the blown engine. How
cool is that?
Sunday rolls around and here we go to the enduro.
Glen had been getting quicker and quicker all weekend,
his car was performing perfectly. Jay was having the same
luck. Lap times were coming down for everyone. Michael
was solid with his repairs and his times were right in there
with everyone else. John seemed to be on a mission as his
times consistently stayed one to two seconds ahead of the
entire field.
By the time the flag dropped,
we had gone from 12 cars in SP box
class to six. Two cars were out due to
incidents and disqualification from
running the rest of the weekend and
four with major mechanical failures.
The end result is that we sent the
east coast guys home, licking their
wounds beating them at their home
track. Mavs took 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th.
1st place went to John Gladwill as he set the Sebring
SP Box lap record during the race. Of course that timed
lap was the fastest lap for any SP Box in the enduro at
2:32.05 seconds. He was flying!
3rd place went to Steve Watkins. Steve should have
taken 2nd as he was quicker than the car that took 2nd.
But due to pit stop timing problems he came out late.
AAAArrrgggghhh. It was up to the drivers to time their
18

entry/exit and he had a bad moment. Steve was almost
like a Ninja during the whole event. John had told me
Steve was really, really quick and could easily win the
class. He did win one of the sprint races though. 4th place
went to Michael Hsu. This was only his second race ever
and he is going to be a great
competitor in the future. We
noticed that Michael became
very quiet 10 or so minutes
before time to go out for any
session. He seemed to be
going over the track in his
mind and visualizing what
was about to take place.
I found that to be quite
interesting.
5th place went to Glen
Smith. In my estimation
Glen may have been the
most studious of the group. He was working carefully
and methodically. I found myself looking to him for data
as he always was gathering information and studying
everything. Glen just got better and better every time he
went out. He battled some handling problems early on.
Shock adjustments got him back on point.
Many thanks to Gary and Bryan (you know who you
are) for all the work you did. This would have been near
impossible to pull off without you two. I hope you guys
wanna do it again next year.
Now, John and I have decided we have to go back next
year. I think two transporters may be needed as this class
is growing rapidly. Gotta challenge
the east coast guys again and let
them have a year of development
to see who sorts things out the best.
Hummmmmmmm.
OK we did not sweep the top five,
but nobody is perfect.
Having a lot of fun and of course
still rambling along! Cliff

Member Spotlight: Don Butler
by Andrea Bell
This month, I am pleased to
introduce you to one of our
new members, Don Butler.
Don is the proud owner of a silver 1990
944 S2 Cabriolet. It has 79k
miles and Don has owned the
car since 2005. He’s actually the
car’s third owner and reports that
the car came originally from Park Place Porsche.
Since purchasing the vehicle, he has put a lot of
love into it and reported, “the fastest I’ve had it up
to is 120-mph, with still pedal to go.”
You can almost see him smiling as he continues,
“the car handles likes new and sounds absolutely
thrilling, rendering that fully aspirated rumble that
is signature to the model. What I love about the car is the
low center of gravity, yes; the engine, yes; the handling, yes;
but most particularly, I love the model. The 944 Cabriolet
is a thing of grace and beauty. I read a note online from
another 944 Cab owner years ago, before I purchased my
car. He said that he felt that the 944 Cabriolet is so beautiful,
distinct and of timeless design that every time that he looks
back after parking it, he is filled with a sense of awe, like
looking at a masterpiece. I’ve come to feel the same way.”
Don is divorced, 54-years young, and has three kids, all
grown adults who are alumni of Texas institutions of higher
education. Don has lived in Dallas for 28 years, having
worked for oil and gas firms his entire career.
He moved to Fort Worth in April 2009 and now
works for New Tech Engineering as a Senior
Project Manager responsible for acquiring
all necessary regulatory and environmental
permits and developing plans that are required
to drill and produce oil and gas across the U.S.
Don’s other interests
include photography, art,
music and aviation. When
questioned if he would ever
take flying lessons, he said,
“If I could get wings on my
944, I’d be the first to drive
it off a cliff, and with the top
down!”
Maverick Region PCA welcomes Don to our family of
equally proud car owners!

Happy Hour at Blue Mesa Grill
by Chris Christensen
To our surprise this was one of
the best attended Happy Hours
in recent months - about 40
enthusiasts gathered
to enjoy dinner
together. Maybe it
was the mild weather
or the location or just
because the food is pretty good at this
venue. Whatever the reason, we were
certainly pleased with the attendance.
Fortunately the parking lot is of
generous proportions, so we were able
to park our Porsches out of harm’s way
– a good thing considering the size of
our crowd. The food and beverage at
this Blue Mesa was just as good as the
last Blue Mesa on Northwest Highway.
They have what is called southwestern cuisine which is a
level above Tex-Mex.
We had a couple of new “Mav” members drop in this
month, they were; Alan Lusk who recently purchased a
Boxster and Scott and Jeanette Lamb who own a very cool
964. Welcome to all of you – there is something for everyone
in our Porsche Club and we are happy to have you. Also
Norm Schilling and his wife dropped by to have dinner with
us; they own Invisibra
and also advertise in
Slipstream – a great
product to protect your
treasured investment.
After having just
finished reading the New
York Times Best seller,
“In Defense of Food”
written by Michael
Jeanette and Scott Lamb
Pollan…it is fitting to
say that no matter what restaurant you visit to partake of
any of the three meals, you could become an endangered
species in a hurry….that is not a direct quote, but is merely
a broad interpretation assimilated after reading the book.
Pollan is a believer in Organic foods, and debunks many of
the so called myths fostered over the years by the FDA as
to what is good and bad for humans to consume. But you
know what? The heck with Pollan and his prescribed diet of
organic vegetables and so forth – Mexican food tastes good
and we’re going to enjoy it! Maybe not every day and of
course everything in moderation – so throw on another layer
of cheese – we can handle it!

With spring almost around the corner we are sure that
our Porsche activity will increase – and the hanger queens

month. It is
worthwhile to
point out that
the folks at PCA
have done a
very good job in
organizing the
upcoming Parade
2010 events.
Registration for the 2010 Parade opens on Tuesday March
9th. Do not try and register before this date, you will be
rejected. Hope to see a good Maverick crowd at Parade this
year; it will be a good time.
Happy times @ Blue Mesa Grill in North Plano at Granite Park

So as you read this, we will be just returning from the
Palm Springs area after playing golf and just enjoying the
sun and fun in California. We will miss February Happy
Hour, but we will
be thinking about
you all – it is
California and as
everyone knows
– California is
a great place to
car watch. Palm
Springs seem to
Luke Edson & Clara Lewis
have a lock on
the most 356’s on
the planet and other models as well. It is big money country
– so everything from Bentley’s to Porsches is on the watch
list.
March Happy Hour will be held at Uncle Julio’s and is
to be held on 18 March at the usual time of 6:30 PM. Bring
a friend along if you can, but please come. If anyone has
any ideas regarding adding their favorite restaurant to the
Happy Hour schedule – please feel free to email us with
your recommendation(s). Remember that whatever the
restaurant, it must be able to handle a crowd of between 30
and 40 people.
Cheers for now.

The Allure of the Automobile
Courtesy of Porsche Cars North America
When a nationally renowned fine art museum
is showcasing cars as masterpieces of art in
your home town you pay attention. When
you are Porsche you become a patron and help welcome the
cars that represent the industry’s most incredible designs.
The High Museum of Art exhibition, called, fittingly, the
“The Allure of the Automobile,” is sponsored by the famous
German sports car company, headquartered in Atlanta,
and will feature some of
the World’s most rare and
spectacularly conceived
vehicles ever produced.
Among these exquisite
collectors items from both
sides of the Atlantic will
be a 71-year old Porsche
design that is considered the
precursor to all Porsches-the
1938/39 Porsche Type 64.
This incredible design
piece is the only prewar
Porsche and has never
been exhibited outside of
Germany. It will be carefully
removed from its perch at
the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart and flown to Atlanta for
the exhibition that begins on March 21 and ends on June 20.
Porsche is also displaying another historic car, the 1953
Porsche 550 LeMans coupe, which will be on loan from the
private Collier Collection of Porsche in Naples, Florida.
Rolling Sculptures
Sometimes referred to as “rolling sculptures,” the
incredible cars of the show are a mixture of innovative
engineering, uncompromising workmanship and
breakthrough design. When viewed as pieces of art, they
give admirers a completely new way of looking at the great
design periods of our time, spanning the movements from
the 1930s to the mid 1960s.
“Our visitors will be surprised to find that today’s
vehicles come from a legacy of beauty and innovation
comparable to the finest decorative arts that may be found
in museum collections,” said Michael E. Shapiro, Director
of the High Museum of Art. “This exhibition will showcase
the greatest feats of engineering and luxury design from
1930 to 1965, when cars became synonymous with success,
power and wealth. Created for the privileged few, the
luxurious, custom-built automobiles embodied speed, style
and elegance, and influenced art, architecture, fashion and
design.”
26
Dr. Porsche’s Type 64 design will be on display at the
High Museum in Atlanta
Six Decades of Porsche in the U.S.
“The Allure of the Automobile” is being sponsored by
Porsche Cars North America (PCNA), which is headquartered
in Atlanta and is celebrating the brand’s 60th anniversary
of selling cars in the U.S. “The partnership with the High
Museum of Art, one of the world’s renowned art museums,
is a perfect fit for us,” said Detlev von Platen, President
and CEO of PCNA. “This incredible exhibition, ‘The
Allure of the Automobile,’
is a celebration of groundbreaking
design and
engineering -- a theme that
resonates throughout our
brand.”
An Object of Design
and Desire
As a focal point of the
exhibition, the one-of-a-kind
Porsche Type 64 is a unique
object in automotive history.
It is unlike any other car
on display; in fact it is not
actually a car at all, but a
hand-built, aluminum shell
that represents the essence of
Porsche design. Even today, when new Porsches are being
developed, designers still look to the Type 64 to remind
them of the brand’s unique legacy.
The Golden Age of Design
As part of the “The Allure of the Automobile,” the
Type 64 will be joined by an iconic list of the world’s finest
cars from the “golden age of automobile design.” These
include masterpieces by Bugatti, Duesenberg, Jaguar,
Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Pierce Arrow, Packard, Cadillac,
Tucker and others. This first-of-its-kind presentation traces
the evolution of the motorcar from the mid 1930s to the
mid 1960s, examining the contrasts between American
and European design, the influence of decorative arts and
design and the significant changes in automotive styling and
engineering both before and after World War II.
“Until World War I, most cars had been utilitarian
objects with one principal goal: transportation,” said Ken
Gross, guest curator of the exhibition. “But as tastes and
wealth coincided, designers could create and/or customize
an automobile’s body, dramatically altering its silhouette
and decoration and producing artful, one-of-a-kind objects.
Lavish and often beautifully trimmed with aluminum,
chrome, inlaid wood and lacquer, the streamlined silhouettes

of the finest mid-century cars represent prime examples
of Art Moderne design.”
While the first part of the exhibition will spotlight
the custom coach work, art-inspired styling, luxury
and opulence marked vehicles from the pre-war era,
the second segment of the exhibition focuses on how
the industry shifted in the post-war years, with the
Europeans moving towards smaller, sportier models,
while the American manufacturers concentrated on
mass-producing cars for a booming economy.

Tech Corner
by Ed Mullenix
Another month has flown by. As
I write this, it’s mid-February
and last week’s record snow has
finally melted. My 928 that lives outside
on my driveway (another forever-project
that hopefully will get more attention
this year) was unrecognizable with a foot
of snow piled up on it. If you didn’t get
to attend the January New (All) Members Party, it was
awesome. I got to talk “shop” with a lot of members about
their cars, their car’s issues, and club activities. A common
theme seemed to be where to get technical information on
their respective Porsche. Sitting here at my desk, I gaze at
the shop manuals that I’ve collected over the years. I pause
a moment to reflect on the occasion of my 58th birthday, that
I have been in the car business for 42 years! Time flies when
you’re havin’ fun, doesn’t it!
Anyway, I am greatly encouraged by Porsche owners
wanting to know even more about their cars. I also have
several decades of experience working on the “other
German car” made in Stuttgart. A noteworthy observation
is that Porsche owners actually read their owner’s manuals
and when something is amiss, come into the shop “quoting
scripture” about what the owner’s manual stated. Most
owners of the “other brand” are only vaguely aware of a
rather thick pamphlet that came with their car. Porsche
offers shop manuals on everything that they’ve made, and
while an entire set is somewhat pricey, they are readily
available. With the advent of DVDs, shop manuals are now
inexpensive. My favorite place to find shop manuals is ebay.
Type in “Porsche manual” and an amazing array of offerings
appears. Being somewhat a dinosaur, I still prefer a bound,
paper shop manual. I do have several DVD versions for the
newer cars because they are usually bargain priced. Even
if you have no intention of ever “splitting the case” on your
Porsche, having a manual that shows the steps that your
mechanic will do, takes a lot of the mystery and confusion
out of the process. I encourage every owner to at least get a
DVD shop manual for his or her car. Put it in the glove box
to ward off “evil spirits!”
Another handy tool that I have discovered is the online
parts catalog that is maintained by Scott Ginsburg’s folks at
Boardwalk Auto Group. Type in www.boardwalkag.com,
click on the Porsche logo, and when the red field appears,
click on the tab at the top that says “parts and service,” then
on “parts catalog.” There is an electronic catalog there for
every Porsche production car ever made. Click on the
catalog for your respective car and you’ll see every part, part
number, and quantity of anything that goes on your car. An
amazing tool! BTW… a typo appeared on the print version
of last month’s Slipstream about the location of the March
13th tech session. The online version correctly states the
Autoscope, Denton Drive location. Hope to see you there.
