Hot Rods and Porsches in Downtown DeLand

The DeLand Area Cruisers, a local hot-rod and custom car club, holds a wonderful car show on the third Saturday of every month in Downtown DeLand.  For their January 18 show they have invited the Porsche Club to participate by bringing our cars to the show along side their classic, hot rod, stock restorations and vintage race cars.  All years and models are welcome!   Let’s all show off our 944’s and 924S’s in Downtown DeLand.  Both area Porsche Clubs are invited, and there are only 35 slots available, so register your front engine water cooled Porsche NOW to be sure to get a spot!  Register through ClubRegistration.net at https://clubregistration.net/events/signUp.cfm/event/15239  

The show will be on January 18, Saturday, beginning around 2:00 and going until about 5:30 or so.  There will be a special place for our Porsches.  The show is always a ton of fun with vendors, a DJ, and a ton of great downtown restaurants within a block or two of the show.  

Space is limited to 35 Porsches, although the show regularly draws 50-80 cars of all descriptions.  There is a $10 registration fee that will be donated to the DeLand Area Cruisers to help with the costs associated with running the show, including getting help from the DeLand Main Street Association and the city of DeLand.  Bring chairs for lounging, a cooler with beverages and walking shoes for exploring wonderful downtown DeLand.

The leadership of the DeLand Area Cruisers will select Porsches for special awards during the show.  So let’s show off our great cars in a great little downtown, voted as one of the best downtowns in the country!  In June of 2017, the small town of DeLand was just named the best downtown in the nation in America’s Main Street competition!

Take advantage of Downtown DeLand’s hospitality and after parking your Porsche stroll beautiful historic DeLand and have a bite at one of the local restaurants.
