Thanks To All That Voted
Our Ride "SOTW" 25-AUG-2008
...The "Very First" Porsche 944 So Honored ...
... Enjoy the Ride - Drive with Pride ...
==========================================================================================================
IT STARTED IN 1982
The Porsche 944 N/A was manufactured in Germany from 1982 until 1989. During those years, a total of 113,070 units were built, with 56,921 imported into the USA. During the 1988 model year only 5,965 N/A units were manufactured, and 3,731 were imported into the USA. With such a small number of 1988 models imported, we feel fortunate to have one of the remaining few.
------------------------------------------------------------
BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL 1988 DESIGN
Here Is The Original Version of the PORSCHE 944 Front and Rear Bumper System
During Its Production Lifetime It Was A Very Functional and Practical Design
Today, The Original Design Seems A Bit Dated and Conservative - "Old School" - If You Will
-(See Further Below for Installation of the Modern Upgraded Front & Rear Bumper System)-

WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY !!!
