LUFT AUTO SUCCESS

“The third installment of Patrick Long and Howie Idelson’s Luftgekühlt gathering took place yesterday at the expansive factory location of furniture designer Modernica in East Los Angeles. Thousands of automotive enthusiasts flocked to the event to see hundreds of Porsche models ranging from 356s to all variations of 911s.”

“There were also a few from Singer Vehicle Design as well, as some vintage race cars. Friends and families of all ages strolled around in a relaxed, party like atmosphere, enjoying a variety of iconic automobiles as well as some great food and groovy music. The high point of the event came when a 911 safari car built among others by Joey Seele and Rod Emory, and test driven by Patrick Long and Jeff Zwart, was auctioned by RM Sotheby’s for $275K!”
