    January 1965 Dealer Roadshow for 911

    I stumbled across an old newspaper ad for the first Midwest showing of the new 911 in January 1965. It looks like there were a number of similar showings across the country.

    1/5/65 Lansing, MI, Phil Gordon
    1/8/65-1/9/65 Indianapolis, IN Auto Imports Ltd
    1/15/65 Omaha, NE, Omaha Volkswagen
    1/18/65-1/19/65 Minneapolis, MN Morgan E Johnson Co., Inc
    1/26/65. Ramsey, NJ, Lawrence Motors
    1/31/65 Chicago, IL
    2/5/65- 2/8/65. N. Hollywood, CA, Europa Motors
    2/15/65 Bedford, MA, Porsche Cars Northeast
    2/17/65 Albany, NY, Taylor-Johnson Motors

    901 SN 300012 and 300013 were both documented as factory demonstrators. Is anything else known about the first factory demonstrators to hit North America?

    Interesting to see these old reports.

    This is a new report about a very early car. Some of us know the named owner who recently sold what is thought to be the rhd protype registered 1 April 1965 there was an auction in London just before Christmas 2023 where it sold

    I was at the auction … more here
