Default Porsche by Design - NCMOA Exhibit (Pic Heavy)

On Saturday we went to the NC Museum of Art exhibit, Porsche by Design - Seducing Speed. It was an opportunity to see some incredible cars, one of a kinds, prototypes, unrestored race cars. Three of the cars were from the Porsche museum in Stuttgart and many of them are from a private collection in Durham. It was a great exhibit, and a nice look at an iconic brand.

The exhibit will be "hoods up" on the 24-27, it would be cool to go back. It ends on February 2nd.

Very nice. I see you picked the 64 356 as your favorite. Mine has always been the 56 356 Speedster.
