September 2006

Each month, Panorama magazine brings you the best from the world
of Porsche. Races, vintage car shows, technical articles, we cover it all!

At Panorama, we never have room for all the pictures we'd like to
share with our readers. Here are some photos that just wouldn't fit
into the magazine this month.

Featured last month were the first photos of Porsche Club of America's new office in Springfield, Virginia, along with an invitation. We are repeating it for September's gallery because there's still time to join the staff at the PCA Open House at PCA National Headquarters on September 30. For more details contact PCA Executive Director Vu Nguyen at vun@pca.org, but in the meantime, join us in the Panorama Gallery for a virtual tour of the office and meet the staff that keeps things going at PCA central.


We refer you to the magazine for even more articles. How do you get your copy? Join PCA, Porsche Panorama is a prime benefit of membership!

Decorated in PCA red, white and blue, and displaying photos from Porsche Parades, the reception area is the first point of contact whether you visit the office in person or by telephone.

Rare factory posters as well as the history posters from our 50th anniversary celebration adorn the hallways.

 

 

 

A highlight of the new location is the conference room, displaying a quantity of PCA and Porsche archival material. It is the club's research center.
