Over 40 Porsche cars will be on display at Carousel Porsche from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 19. At the Porsche 911 40th Anniversary Celebration, the cars are the stars. Many of the Porsche vehicles that will be present at this event are rare and are not often showcased. Earlier this year, Porsche Cars North America held a similar event in Daytona Beach, Fla., the only other time an event of this magnitude has been held in the United States. The Porsche 911 40th Anniversary Celebration will be one of the few times car enthusiasts will have an opportunity to see one model car from each Porsche production year under one roof anywhere in the world. Porsche owners will be on-hand to sign posters and talk with other Porsche and car enthusiasts. Proceeds from the autographed posters benefit Courage Center. The proceeds from a silent auction benefit Courage Center as well. The 911 40th Anniversary Celebration is free of charge and open to the public. For more information about the event, please contact Mark Bouljon at Carousel Porsche at (763)744-9191.
