Porsche Zone Concours at Larz Anderson Auto Museum

Each year the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA (formerly Museum of Transportation) puts on a number of “lawn events”. Basically those are themed automotive gatherings. There is the Cadillac Day, the German Car Day, Day of Triumph, Swedish car Day, etc. You get the idea. I have been attending these events for years and they are always filled super nice people, great cars, and it’s fun for the whole family, even the non-enthusiasts. 

This year the Porsche Zone Concours event started off the season. It was an additional early event put on by Porsche Club of America, sponsors of the usual Porschefest (Porsche Day) which happens later on the season.  And right away things were different.

Setting The Pace For The Racing Action

The variety of vehicles this olelongrooffan saw this past weekend still continues to astound me and I hope my fellow Hoons enjoy my sharing of them with you.

Hooniverse Truck Thursday: Broncos, Elkys, and More, Oh My

So this week this olelongrooffan has been posting a bunch of images I gathered at the Art of The Auto car show last weekend. Surprisingly enough, I spotted a lone longroof, a 65 Falcon and my digital card was full so I was unable to capture a shot of it. Such was not the case when I spotted a few trucks for Hooniverse Truck Thursday.

It’s Not Another Cougar, That’s For Sure

So while this olelongrooffan was at that awe inspiring car show last weekend, I was relating to my Rolex24 buddy about the first time I had seen this Daytona Prototype Corvette. As would be suspected, our attention span was diverted as we saw a couple big ass car haulers pull in and we headed over to check out what was inside.

A Trio Of Cadillacs For Your Viewing Pleasure

Last week one of the topics was the automotive design changes from era to era. One of the threads of discussion in the comment section was the fact that pre WWII designs were almost the same as post WWII designs. This past weekend at that freakin awesome car show this olelongrooffan attended, I was able to see this phenomenon first hand. My fellow Hoons can see this also should you decide to make the jump with me.
