Background

Anchored by the 42nd Los Angeles Lit & Toy Show (aka Lit Show) at the LAX Hilton, this year’s group of events that form “Lit Week” gave proof of a healthy air-cooled Porsche community that has endured decades of high and low tides, not to mention a few big storms. Twenty or so businesses took part in the annual SoCal pilgrimage.

The open house at the Sierra Madre Collection is always popular.

The 42nd LA Lit & Toy Show at the LAX Hilton proved the air-cooled Porsche community is still running strong.

Dedicated Audience

For those SoCal enthusiasts living among this vibrant collection of vintage Porsche businesses, consider yourselves very fortunate, as many of Lit Week’s attendees have to pay for airfare, hotels, rental cars etc. I always encounter visitors from Europe and Japan; think about that kind of expenditure! We are truly fortunate to have this in our backyard.
