We joined collector Rory Ingram and four of his family's classics as part of Luftgekühlt, a celebration of the German marque's masterworks.
factory racer and brand ambassador Patrick Long, creative director Howie Idelson and famed racer, writer and photographer Jeff Zwart. It started with Long’s desire to create an automotive event that would have more mass appeal than the meetups he had initially experienced.
According to Long, for this iteration alone, “people are in attendance from 48 of 50 states and 22 countries.” Among those is North Carolina–based Rory Ingram, representing his family’s world-renowned Porsche collection that even the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart has borrowed from. The earliest of Ingram’s presentations is a 1955 Porsche 550/1500 RS Spyder, a model infamously linked with actor James Dean’s death behind the wheel the same year. This aluminum-bodied car, chassis No. 550-073, originally belonged to Porsche Dealer Paul Sagan who raced it ten times on the East Coast and took the checkered flag at six of those contests. In 1957, Sagan had drilled numerous holes in the chassis to lighten the weight and make it a hill-climb car.
