I had great plans to line the cars up as perfectly as possible for the ultimate RSAs “in a row” shot. In fact I had even purchased some fishing line which I intended to draw taught and inch the cars up until they were just touching the line. I had even asked drivers to stay in their cars until we had had a chance to perform this wondrous feat of alignment, however, it was not to be. The people marshalling the cars to their parking positions said we didn't have time, and to be honest it was pretty darn impressive with the cars parked just the way they were, so, I just did a little “lining up by eye” and let people go and enjoy the concours. |

To give you an idea of how far the RSA corral stretched, the first car is the Fly Yellow car number 034 at left, and then every ten RS Americas I placed a large white rectangular RS America Registry sign in front of the car. If you look carefully, you can make out three of the signs in this image. |
|||
I suspect that every RS Americas in attendance had some detail work done before arrival. As this image shows, every RSA there was in excellent condition. |
|||
You could stop at any point along the line .......
|
..... and shoot a really impressive image. |
||
The RS Americas corral drew a lot of attention and a lot of questions were asked about the model - and the Registry. |

PORTRAITS. |
A portrait photo was taken of each RSA in the corral, but to reduce the number of images on this page so it is quicker to download, they are on another page easily accessed via the following link. |

WHAT ABOUT THE 30th RSA? |
||
One RSA registry member was kind enough to loan his Grand Prix White 10,000 mile car for display in the Historic Porsche Exhibition which was an un- judged part of the concours. |

||
RARE AND UNUSUAL. |
||
This section is intended to show some of the “different” things found on and in RSAs in the corral.
|
||
Doug H of FL's very rare custom RS America with a full body conversion by Gemballa.
|
||
Bill W of NC has light blue “RS” side decals on the flanks of his car black RSA.
|
||
Bill W of NC has an odometer but no trip meter with the reset to zero button at the bottom of the speedometer in his RSA. |
||
Mark W of VA has European “bumperette delete” light lenses between his fog lights and his turn signals - notice no black plastic bumperettes. |
||
Don A of NY had the original fitted 964 luggage in the front trunk of his RSA. |
||
Brent B of VA's Guards Red RSA has its rear deck lid emblems “creatively” placed on his rear deck lid. When RS Americas were delivered new, they came naked i.e. with no identifying emblems or decals, these items were in the glove box and dealers would fit them if the new owner so desired. |
||
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. |
||
One of life's lessons I have learned, is that whenever somebody does something that results in great enjoyment it is not only appropriate, but a mark of personal integrity to take a moment to ensure they realize that you appreciate their effort. |
True Heroes - Bob G “checking his six” & Manny A (still looking for the apex!) to those in-the-know, this Parade was codenamed “The Bob & Manny show”. |
