Early June 2023

 

Greetings and Salutations,

As part of the ongoing 75th anniversary celebration, Porsche has debuted their newly revised crest. Some articles are referring to it as modernized.  The changes are subtle and the basic elements of the crest remain unchanged.  Porsche’s new crest and their press release can be read here.

In related anniversary news, Sewickley Porsche is hosting a 75th anniversary celebration, see additional information below.  There’s also news about the Black Ties & Tailpipes Gala in the announcements section.

Here’s to seeing you out there,
