Representing all the air-cooled Porsches in the automaker’s history, the Luftgekühlt show is an immersive car culture event focused on a meticulously curated list of historically significant or interesting race and street cars — from the Pre-A 356 through the 993-model line. Co-founded by two-time Le Mans winner Patrick Long and acclaimed Southern California creative director Howie Idelson, the small meetup has grown into a cultural phenomenon in the greater Los Angeles area.
