Porsches in Tucson


 

hello Carlos;? might you have a photo of the Richfield station that was at the S. corner of 22nd street and Park?? The owner Al Jobst worked on our Porsches back in the 60's.
When the city tore down the station Al purchased a automatic car wash on 22nd street west of Swan and converted it into the Porsche dealer for 1 year (1969)only then it became Grand Prix Motors BMW dealership. Al would eventually sell to the business to Bib Stillwell of LearJet fame.
The Tucson Chapter of Porsche Club of America recently celebrated it's 50th anniversary and one missing link was a photo of the Richfield station & repair where we hung out with our 356 Porsche cars.
Thanks so much,
Jeff Gamble
Tucsonan since 1951

Hello All,

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Tucson Modernism Week is here again! ?If you're not familiar, Tucson Modernism Week is dozens of events, all week long, all over Tucson, celebrating different aspects of the bygone postwar period. ?The same things we talk about here: Mid-century homes, buildings, signs, fashions, car culture, popular culture, design, etc., etc.

There's almost too much for one person to see, but it's worth a try. ?Some events are free and others require tickets. ?Remember, your ticket cost goes directly to benefit the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation which works all year long, usually behind the scenes, to save the things in Tucson we all love. Here's a great way to contribute to a good cause, and get some entertainment and education at the same time.??

Looking forward to seeing you there again this year.

Thanks,

Carlos
