Speedster 50th anniversary

Greetings all,

As most of you know, the Speedster will turn 50 in 2004 and there will be a big event In California to honor the American Roadster, Speedster and Convertible D. The event goodie store was just opened so if you want to buy some Speedster related goodies check out the website;

No affiliation but I thought some might be interested. I like that grille badge.

From what it says on the website, looks like this will be a world-wide event, with some very special speedsters in attendance. I wonder how they would accept a replica? (as if)

Good question, might be a starting point for our participation in that and other events. Hey, we love them too, otherwise we would be driving replica Excaliburs! Guess we got a year to work on it but wouldn't it be neat if we particpated in the shindig. Bruce

I hope I am not mis-speaking but I was following a thread on the 356 registry discussion list and the entry fee for the 50th aniversery was $400. To get a ticket to "walk around" was about $75. That is a recollected guess. John Leader, Rich Downing and myself had a very nice time at SpeedsterFest last September and I plan on participating this September. The "replica" at a Porsche show can be well appreciated and scorned depending on mind-set pf the person. The SpeedsterFest was pretty nice. I'd recommend it if you are in the area. The web site for the event is www.germanautofest.com/index.htm
