Porsche’s Birthday
Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche was born on 19 September
1909 in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. He passed away on
27 March 1998 (aged 88) in Zell am See, Austria. In July
1946, he brought all the structure of the company to
Gmünd/Carinthia, Austria.
Together with his sister Louise, Ferry took on the
management of the company. In the beginning, they also
used the workshop to repair cars. Additionally, they
commercialized water pumps and lathes.
In time, they obtained two contracts for automobile design.
One was for the construction of racecars for the Cisitalia
racing team. The other was for the design of their own car, which later became known as the Porsche
356. From Wikipedia.

27-29 October 2017, Phoenix Flight
1977. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average Index closed the year at
831. New York City was hit with
a massive blackout lasting 25
hours, resulting in a baby boom
nine months later! Apple
released the Apple II personal
computer. Jimmy Carter was
elected President. Star Wars
Episode IV dropped (wait, what
happened to episodes I - III?) The King of
Rock and Roll died from a heart attack,
maybe too many peanut butter and
banana sandwiches? And you could check
out of the Hotel California any time you
liked but you could never leave!
And in Phoenix a small club of Porsche car
owners held a concours event called The
Phoenix Flight!
Fast forward 40 years and a large club of Porsche car owners is preparing for a concours weekend called
Phoenix Flight. Some things just never change!
Join the celebration of 40 years of Phoenix Flight on October 27 – 29, 2017!
On Friday, October 27th, there will be a reception poolside at the McCormick Scottsdale Resort at 7401
N. Scottsdale Road. The reception will begin at 6:00 PM. Come visit with old friends and meet new
friends during this 4 hour evening event. That evening we will hold a silent auction for this year’s charity
“Guide Dogs for the Blind” (https://www.guidedogs.com/) so please bring an open wallet for a great
cause! Book at room at the resort at a club's special rate and party all night!
Saturday morning, October 28th, come show your nicely cleaned and prepared Porsche in the Concours
that will be held on the Streets of Scottsdale! The venue is N. Marshall Way near the Fashion Square
mall at Camelback Road and N. Marshall Way. The map is on the Arizona Region's Web site. Parking will
begin at 6:30 a.m. and judging will begin at 9:30 AM. After judging wander around and enjoy the shops
and galleries. But don't eat too much because the trophies will be awarded at 1:00 p.m. while everyone
is enjoying tapas at the awards ceremony. The street has to be turned back to the City by 4:00 PM. If you
aren’t entering your car, come down and join in the fun anyway, there will be a special area set aside in
the adjacent parking garage for club members!
The Concours is part of the PCA Zone Concours series. So here’s your chance to pick up some points
towards the year-end Concours results! Especially if you are coming from another Region, you get
“travel points”.
After all that, get some rest because on Sunday October 29th you will want to join in on a tour that will
visit two fabulous private collections of automobiles! The proceeds from these tours will go to charity,
the RPM Foundation (www.rpmfoundation.org). All PCA members can register for these tours.
You don't have to enter the concours to attend either the Friday reception or the Sunday tour. So even
if you aren't into Q-tips and such you still can register for all the other events. So there is no excuse to
not come out to celebrate Phoenix Flight 40!

Lawsuit against San Diego
From The San Diego Reader, by Dorian Hargrove, June 7, 2017
In March of 2017, Jon Warshawsky sued the City of San Diego for improper design of the center median
and failure to maintain it.
According to public documents obtained by the Reader, the median was the cause of at least one other
accident prior to the collision and the subject of numerous complaints — one of which came from the
San Diego Police Department — for poor visibility in months preceding the death of Walzer.

Oktoberfeste
Oktoberfest began as the celebration of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s (later King Ludwig I4) marriage
to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 17, 1810.5 The Bavarians enjoyed the party, but
decided that October was too cold, so they moved it to September. Oktoberfest seems to combine well
with German cars (wenn Sie nicht zu viel trinken Bier).
4 Ludwig I was not “Mad King Ludwig”—that was his grandson, Ludwig II. Ludwig I was essentially overthrown in 1848 shortly after he attempted to tax beer. 5 From wikipedia.org

Crews prepare to pour concrete for Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in Big Sur
From Santa Cruz Sentinel, by Tommy Wright, [email protected], @wrightscribe, 09/15/17
Big Sur >> As work continues with an eye on mid-October as the completion date, Caltrans crews poured
concrete Friday for the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge end diaphragms.
According to David Galarza, Caltrans’ structure representative for the project, the diaphragms will lock
the three girders into place in the abutments. He said crews have completed installing the deck
reinforcement steel.
Crews will be pouring approximately 650 cubic yards of concrete at night in part so the concrete trucks
can avoid traffic on Highway 1.
According to Galarza, the project is on schedule.
“I think mid October is still looking really good right now,” he said.
In addition to the bridge outage at Pfeiffer Canyon, just south of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Highway 1 in
Big Sur remains closed at Salmon Creek near the San Luis Obispo County border due to the massive Mud
Creek slide. The highway is scheduled to reopen at Mud Creek in summer 2018.

on original historical data, showing various details
of how a specific 356 has been delivered to
Porsche.
As Reutter built the body including the interior -
besides outside color and color codes, our
certificate will give you quite a lot detailed period
correct information as well as detailed various
specifications of a specific 356: such as the seat,
color and used materials (f.e. leather, fabrics),
dashboard color, color and materials for door
covers, flooring (including producing companies) …
to name just a few.
The delivery date from Reutter to Porsche is part of the documentary and - once you proofed your

long as they are mentioned in the historical
documents.
In addition to the written information you´ll
receive a printed color-card giving to get an
impression of how the specifications of your car
looked like when it had been delivered from
Reutter to Porsche.
The documentary will give you as well some
historical background of Reutter´s history
including a couple of historical pictures provided
by the Reutter Family Archive.
The Karosserie Reutter certificate will be the ideal
supplement to the original Porsche certificate
showing you technical information of your engine,
gearbox etc., as this is not part of our
documentary.

the car how it looks today (for documentary reasons) and a proof of ownership (if you´d like to get the
key numbers info as well).
You´ll then get a confirmation via email including the invoice (by mail or PayPal).
As we already received quite a lot orders from Porsche 356 owners all over the world and our accurate
research for the certificate takes it´s time, we´ll thank you for your patience that from date of ordering
to secured shipping of the certificate it will take at least two weeks.
The certificate is available in German language and in English, please let us know what you prefer.
Thanks for your interest.
