There's a new Porsche exhibit that sounds like it's going to be a good one opening at Peterson Automotive Museum. It opens April 16th and runs for the next 13 months, so plenty of time to go see it. (Someone go in my place and take pics or send me a RT airline ticket! :D :D :D)

The exhibit, called “We Are Porsche,” focuses not only on the people but specifically the Americans who made the marque mighty. “It’s a fascinating journey to look at all of the people who, without knowing it, just by loving the cars, driving them, and racing them, made them cool,” said Museum Director Terry Karges, adding “We decided that, rather than build it around the cars, we would build it around the people, especially those in Southern California that really made Porsche Porsche,”

James Dean, Steve McQueen, John von Neumann, Max Hoffman, Patrick Dempsey, Patrick Long, Hurley Haywood, Ken Miles, Denise McCluggage, Slash and more, all watched over by the great engineer who started it all - Ferdinand Porsche.

The Peterson Automotive Museum's "We Are Porsche" opens today! Wish I could get there to see it - I have a feeling it's going to be awesome.

It will be there for 13-months so if anyone from Carpokes makes it, please let us know how it was! Thanks! :thumbup:

This week's PCA e-Brake news included an update to the Peterson Museum's "We Are Porsche" exhibit. The never-before-seen display is a collaboration with Porsche Cars of North America that celebrates the 75th anniversary of the brand and the people behind its success. Pretty fine!
