I'll never forget one time they flat bedded a customers (bought used from private party) car from the Glen when the local P dealer wouldn't honor his Factory warranty because the Water pipe came loose on the Track.

The free inspections are nice when you want to have a tech check over your car that is serviced by owner (me).

yup - seriously 🤣 Back before I could afford to just buy what I needed, I often "repurposed" (before that was a buzzword) used stuff to meet my needs...In this instance, the American Tourister makeup case met my needs perfectly 😎 I've still got the t today (though it may stay hangs out at n the studio these days)...

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My wife and I hopefully plan on taking some road trips in the fall to see some foliage changes and festivals, but wanted to add some fitted style luggage to the Targa for the trip.
With some eBay bidding and visiting Antique stores in the area, I have came up with matching American Tourister pieces that fit both on the package shelf and fronk of the 996. All pieces match , are in excellent condition, like new, and are very classy looking when you pull them out at the Bell hop. I have the keys, and ID tags for the period.
I now working on getting some Gray straps to tie them down on a modified packing shelf behind the front seat and put the Travel Bag and Train Case in the fronk with room to spare.
When I get a little closer to completion I post some addition pic's
Train or "makeup case and Travel case pics
i.e. Don't make it like this anymore". This is the stuff that advertised a Gorilla as a baggage handler !

That's great stuff! I've got an old makeup case from that line that i've been using as a wire & adapter box for at least 25 years, and it's still going strong!!! "They don't make 'em like that anymore"... (now I feel old
)

I remember Beechmont Porsche. In fact, I recently came across Polaroids my friends and I took there when we were in high school. It was right after the 996 came out and I'd wanted one ever since.
Thanks, I really liked adding something different to my P Car.
While I'd like to have a set of 40th anniversary luggage, I'd rather spend the $800-1000 on something more useful like a sound system or Michelin's when the Conti's wear out.
I am now getting some 1.5 " Grey leather strap w Buckles that I going to fix in place for the package shelf possible for a touring look and be able to hide when not used.
These are American Tourister Tri-Taper Models (Best I can tell late 60's to early /mid 70's era) Model Labels and lock mechanisms depict era.
Large 27.5'Lx22'Wx8.5"D $50.00 inc. SH
Medium 21.5"Lx17Wx7"D $35.00 inc SH
Frunk closes with no issues, w/Spare Tire but toolkit needs to be stowed on back side . There is some remaining room on side of smaller case for quick detail supplies
Just got back from 2500 mile trip and it was nice to have plenty of carry capacity.
Luggage is just right size as to not have any movement to cause clunk sounds or wear on Frunk lining.
Both (I have 4 total) pieces were found in immaculate condition, and are stored with cedar blocks when not in use.
Set is made from Fiberglass, stainless steel, and aluminum on majority of components,so they weigh virtually nothing empty.
I like the Dark Grey color, but a person could buy / find sets in Blue, Black, Red, White, Brown among 7 offered colors if they looked long enough. perfect matches of most P colors
Over 20 styles/sizes made in each color.
American Tourister was largest manufacturer of tourist luggage for many years and a long time family owned company, later on in 1993 they were bought by Samsonite (largest business Luggage manufacturer) to monopolize the market.
Thanks for your insight on the suspension setup, i really like the handling now that its dropped and tighter, though I should get a skid pan
Thank to Arnuld also , I really like color also, I've had Silver, Black and Light Blue P cars over the years, In the sunlight or parking lot lights it looks best.
Charlieaf92 , Beechmont (now Porsche of Village) is a great PCA supporter. They were always helpful when I was OVR president and would support us in any way possible. I'll never forget one time they flat bedded a customers (bought used from private party) car from the Glen when the local P dealer wouldn't honor his Factory warranty because the Water pipe came loose on the Track. That's outstanding customer Service commitment. The free inspections are nice when you want to have a tech check over your car that is serviced by owner (me).
While Bob H in this 1964 ad is no McQueen or Dean, He was a big spokesperson during his era. He liked the Grey color also.
