The First Settlers Region Celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2019

For a Region to attain 20, 30, 40, 50 or more years of Porsche fellowship means that several generations of enthusiasts have selflessly given of their time and energy to sustain and nurture the organization to its present standing. Indeed, the Porsche car may be the tie that binds us all, but it is the membership’s commitment to the club and to one another that has enabled the growth and success of our region – both in its past and for its future.

The First Settlers Region anniversary celebrations recognize these longstanding commitments and friendships. We proudly celebrated our 60th Anniversary in 2019.

More About the Porsche Club of America

Who we are

Great things start small, and the Porsche Club of America is no different. It began with one man, Bill Sholar, who was a commercial artist in the Washington, D.C. area in the early 1950s.

He bought a new 1953 356 Coupe, and, as time passed, he met other Porsches on the road and flashed his lights at them in silent greeting.

By late 1954, Sholar was convinced that a more personal meeting would be appropriate with other Porsche owners to discuss the positive and the not-so-positive aspects of driving the infrequently encountered marque. Hence the Porsche Club of America was born.

As more and more members joined outside the Washington, D.C. area, Regions were formed in other communities. The original Washington, D.C. group eventually became Potomac Region, which remained the hub of activities. First appearing in December 1955, the Club’s monthly magazine, Porsche Panorama, kept all members updated on the latest technical information, factory news, and events.
