Luftgekuhlt #4 Southern California Premiere Classic Porsche Event 2017

Southern California's premiere classic Porsche event, Luftgekuhlt #4, took place this past Sunday in San Pedro, Ca. Hundreds of air cooled Porsche vehicles took over warehouse #10 at the Port of Los Angeles. Attendees were treated to an incredible display of historic and notable Porsche vehicles, plus the surrounding parking lots were filled with fine examples of Porsche autos.

The most eye catching and fascinating exhibit was the collaboration with Pirelli. This exhibition space feature historic Pirelli artwork displayed amongst notable Porsche production cars. Other vehicles on display inside were recent award winning restorations and reknowned racing vehicles.

Even outside of the main show there was plenty of fine Porsche craftsmanship on display. For those car owners unable to have their Porsche inside the main gates, the preferred parking lot showcased generation after generation of vehicles. 

Each year, the Luftgekuhlt team raises the bar for a unique event experience. We will see what the group can come up with 2018.

Porsche Luftgekuhlt 2016 at Modernica Furniture in Los Angeles

Luftgekuhlt 2016 was held at the Modernica Furniture factory in Vernon, Ca.

On Sunday morning, I cruised down to Luftgekuhlt just south of downtown Los Angeles. It was my first time at the event and it was an impressive display of Porsche history. The event is open to all air-cooled Porsche automobiles so there were plenty of classic race cars and well maintained street cars on display.

There were plenty of people and classics at the Modernica facility on Sunday.

Luftgekuhlt attracted a wide variety of colors and models of Porsche.

Yes, Porsche powered.

Of course, the team behind the event made sure everyone got together for a good cause. RM Sotheby's coordinated an auction of a 1985 Porsche 911 rally edition at the event to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research.



Luftgekuhlt was an impressive event and I look forward to being back next year to cover it.
Hopefully, the California Car Cover Crew has a weekend off from the road so I can be back in 2017.
