Of Special Interest: The 356 Tub Club By Linda Bambina As most Porsche fans know, the very first Porsche model was the Typ 356. Even though the last one rolled off the assembly line in 1965, there are still lots of 356s in existence, and lots of clubs around the country and the world that celebrate their existence. One of those clubs is right here in the D/FW area: The 356 Tub Club. The Tub Club began in 1988 “when a group of 356 Porsche enthusiasts, wanting to enjoy, maintain or restore their Porsches, met at Zims Autotechnik in Bedford TX.” According to their website, www.356tubclub.org, “Anyone with an interest in Porsche 356s, or for that matter any Porscheengineered vehicle, is welcome.” Ownership is not required. While the club has no formal organization, constitution, or bylaws, it does have a President, as well as three volunteers for Membership, Treasurer and Communication. It is a very social and laid back group for their approximately 100 members. Their website lists activities for this coming year. Generally, there are monthly breakfasts and several organized weekend tours to interesting places and roads. Of course, there are local social events. Their calendar also includes events such as the Porsche 356 Registry Holidays, Hill Country Rallye, the Maverick Region Swap Meet, and Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing. The President of the 356 Tub Club, Jim Usher (who is also a Maverick Region member), invites anyone interested in this model to their annual “Service Clinic at Zims in March for those who want to have their 40+ year-old ride checked over by our technical experts.” Contact Jim at 817-891-2989 for more info on this club, composed of those “who enjoy good company revolving around our beloved 356s!” Photos by the Author At a weekend stop on a tour to Utopia, TX The 356 Tub Club has no affiliation with the Porsche 356 Registry, the Porsche Club of America 356 Register, or the Maverick Region of PCA.
