Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance - 50 Years of the Porsche 911
Beverly Hills CA, Jun 16 2013 - 50 Years of the Porsche 911 – A Brief History
Jay Huffschmidt led the Porsche charge down the south end of Rodeo Drive for the 2013 Concours d’Elegance. Porsche was celebrated for 50 years of automobiles.
1963 Porsche 901 Prototype
The 911 premiered at the 1963 International Auto Show in Frankfurt as the Porsche 901. However, a French car company claimed copyright over the use of all model numbers with zero in the middle.
The new 901 model Porsche was therefore renamed the 911 – and that three figure number still raises the heartbeat of every sports car fan!
The perfectly rare 901 on Father’s Day display is on loan to Beverly Hills Porsche by the Petersen Automotive Museum.
