Welcome to the Potomac 356 Owners Group (POG) website. We are a low-key organization of Porsche 356 owners and enthusiasts based in the greater Washington DC metro area, with members from DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware. There are no club officers. We run the activities of the club (car shows, tech sessions, driving events) by Steering Committee. We usually meet for brunch on the first Sunday of every even-numbered month (see the Events section for more details). To join POG, see details on the Member Services tab.
In Memorium
Heinz Walter Wahl, who has been an active member of the local Porsche scene for decades, passed away on December 26, 2024. Born in Frankfurt Germany, Mr. Wahl immigrated to Montreal, Canada, in 1961, and then to the US in 1963. In 1967 he and his wife, Renata, settled in Arlington, Virginia, where they lived with their two sons, George and Michael. Mr. Wahl worked for Joe Herson’s Manhattan Auto from 1967 until he retired in 1980 to work full time at Heinz Sports Car Service in Springfield Virginia, a business he had founded a few years earlier. Mr. Wahl was known for his meticulous and precise craftsmanship, especially on Porsches. A particular example was his recreation of a slant-nose speedster from a 1974 911 Targa.
Mr. Wahl is survived by his wife, Renata, and son, Michael, who continues to run Heinz Sports Cars Service. He was preceded in death by his son, George. His memorial service handout is at the following link (Memorial Service Handout).
An article about Mr. Wahl and his custom 911 was published in the May 2012 issue of der Vorgänger (dV Article).
