Porsche invasion set to visit Muscle Car City in Punta Gorda!
Mark your calendars for June 20th, 2015 for our third road trip set to leave Fort Lauderdale to visit MUSCLE CAR CITY in Punta Gorda, which is north of Ft. Myers. Web site is www.musclecarcity.net.
This will be a very exciting trip as we will be traveling through the back roads of Florida many have never been on or don’t even know exist. There are roads with names like Snake Road through the Everglades Park.
The trip will be approximately 150 miles long one way and will take about 3 hours. Return trip will most likely be I-75 through Alligator Alley.
Muscle Car City is Punta Gorda’s latest attraction featuring Rick Trewrgy’s collection of almost 200 muscle cars, which he stores in a former Kmart store consisting 99,000 square ft. Seeing is believing as all cars are in impeccable condition and focus is on the best cars of the 60’s and 70’s.
*** For those of you who want to stay over, we reserved a block of rooms at the Wyvern Hotel in Punta Gorda at a discounted rate of $95 per night plus taxes. Our Group Code is PCA615, rooms will be available until 5/29/15. ***

The Larry Wilson Collection Tour
2015-06-06 | Unnamed Venue, FL, United States
GET YOUR PORSCHES READY FOR A SPECTACULAR EVENT
On, Saturday, June 6, we have planned a tour to visit The Larry Wilson Collection. The Larry Wilson Collection is a private display of nearly 100 cars which includes Porsches, Jaguar, MG, Mercedes-Benz, various race cars, numerous special interest cars and so many other things. This again is a private collection and is not open to the public; however, we are fortunate enough to be invited to view these cars. Add this experience to your prior visit to the Collier Museum, you will come away and say “Oh my, where do these cars come from?”.
The collection is located in Palm Beach Gardens. Because our region is so spread out, we will meet at several predetermined locations and caravan down together. Those locations will be announced as we get closer to the event.
Our caravans will end up in Jupiter and lunch will be on our own. After lunch we will meet in the Publix parking lot located at Jupiter Farms Village, 10142 Indiantown Road at 2:00 pm. We will tour as a group to the warehouse location.
We will try for a group dinner after the tour. For those wishing to spend the night in the area and do some sight seeing on Sunday, we will list a few suggestions for hotels in Jupiter. These arrangements will also be announced as we get closer to the event.
Contact missyteasley@aol.com to get on the list and for more information.
