To celebrate six decades of American Porsche passion, on August 13 Porsche Cars North America launched the My Classic Porsche Search that focuses on finding the oldest Porsches in 12 distinctive model categories, as well as the very oldest Porsche of all.

Porsche is inviting owners to introduce these most senior members of the Porsche family to everyone in the US. My Classic Porsche Search is open to all owners who think they have a shot at earning the oldest designation for their car (entries can be submitted for 12 model ranges). In addition, the search is on for the Grossvater of all Porsches on American soil.

Owners who have Porsches “with papers” can enter online beginning Aug. 13. To submit an entry, visit www.Porsche60Years.com and review the participation guidelines. The oldest Porsches and their owners will receive special recognition and become eligible for additional award. Exhibition-quality images of select winning models will also be featured at the new “Sixty Years of Porsche in America” exhibit, opening on October 12 at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. One vehicle will also join the company’s newest models at the Porsche stand during this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show. All entries will be evaluated for authenticity by a Porsche panel of experts, including noted historians from the Porsche Club of America.

In addition to the My Classic Porsche Search, Porsche is unveiling a national My Porsche Passion Contest on August 24. Porsche aficionados will have the opportunity to write and upload a 500-words-or-less story that exemplifies their unique passion for a specific Porsche car, an experience or the brand as a whole. The essay contest will be open to entries until November 1, with 20 winning stories selected by a special panel of Porsche judges. Fans will then vote online for one of the 20 finalists. The three entries with the most votes will win an all-expense-paid trip the Porsche Sport Driving School in Birmingham, Alabama.
