Two Events Not to be Missed

[John Straub]

These are two events that are not to be missed:

John

Lit Meet and Swap Meet.

The 27th annual Literature, Toy/Model, and Memorabilia Meet for Porsches and Vintage VW's will be held again at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton on Century Boulevard near the L. A. International Airport. The Los Angeles Airport Hilton is at 5711 W. Century Blvd., and the phone number is 310-410-4000. The meet will be on the same weekend as last year, Saturday, March 6, 2010 and will avoid all known conflicts with the 24 Hours of Daytona, RetroMobil, 12 Hours of Sebring, the Super Bowl, etc.

The vendor table charge will be $80 for all advance registrations (must be received in Ontario, CA by February 26th) and $125 at the door. The hall will be open for set-up and vendor buying, selling and swapping at 7:00 am. Non-vendors will be able to enter the hall after 9:00 am and will be charged $10 per person at the door. "Early-bird" shoppers will be admitted with the vendors at 7:00 am for $30 per person at the door. Once again there will be no required pre-registration for Early-birds – just pay and walk in. The meet will end at 2:00 pm. The entire meet will be non-smoking.

You can download the registration form from our website at www.LALitAndToyShow.com. We will e-mail (only!) confirmations to all the registrants whose payment is received by Wayne Callaway in Ontario, CA by February 26th, 2010.

European Collectibles will have their third annual open house on Saturday, March 6 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. They specialize in the restoration and sales of European and British classic Sports Cars. They always have a number of early 911s. They are located at 1665 Babcock St., Costa Mesa, CA 92627. The phone number is 949-650-4718, e-mail is europeancollectibles@pacbell.net and the web site is www.europeancollectibles.com. They will have all of their cars on display and will be serving light hors d’ oeuvres and soft drinks.

The SoCal All-Porsche Swap & Car Display will again be held on the day after the Lit Meet, Sunday, March 7th, once again at the Phoenix Club, 1340 South Sanderson, Anaheim, CA 92806, about a mile from the old Dunkel Brothers site. If you were there last year, you know it’s a terrific site. See www.thephoenisclub.com for details on this German-American Club. As before, they will have the FestHalle of 11,500 feet under one roof, plus lots of outside room for more vendors and a large grass soccer field for car corrals. Gates open at 8 am. As before, vendors will make a $40 donation per space and car displayers a $20 donation, with all proceeds going to an Orange County children’s charity. For vendor reservations, contact Bob Lee at robert.b.lee@nsc.com or 858-414-3523.

Thanks for the heads up, John. Looks like this year the lit meet isn't on a race weekend so I'd like to make it up there. I haven't added to my factory racing poster collection very much in the last few years.
Still looking for my top 3 desired posters :
1. 1970 McQueen drives Porsche. It lists Holtville!
2. 1968 Marathon de la Route Sportomatic poster
3. 1968 Daytona, showing 3 907 longtails in formation at the finish.
