Driven to America celebrates the history of the air-cooled Porsche along with the man that was responsible for introducing the Marque to America. It signifies the moment in history when Maximilian Hoffman made a deal with Ferdinand (Ferry) Porsche to import the air-cooled sports cars to America in 1951.  The manufacturing of the air-cooled Porsche ended with the model 993 in 1998. On October 1, 2017, Porsche owners, racers, collectors, and fans gathered for a historic event at the Max Hoffman Center in Muttontown on Long Island, NY.  Some of the Marques most important and special road and race cars were on display along with the people who drive the passion.  

The Metro NY PCA had reserved parking for its members. There was also a special parking area for modern-day water cooled Porsches in front of the mansion. We had a great turn-out, and a number of the Porsche Roslyn team (myself included, of course) attended the event. We had a chance to mingle with the many spectators, fans and Porsche owners, including those from the Metro NY PCA. Breakfast and lunch were available, along with a Biergarten, making it a fun and social day. If that weren't enough, we were lucky to have received a guest appearance from Magnus Walker!
