The Chicago Region of the Porsche Club of America was established in 1957 as the Chicago-Milwaukee region, making the 6th region in the country. The region was the host of the fourth Parade in 1959 at Nippersink Manor in southern Wisconsin. By 1960, the northern Illinois membership had grown so large that it could support it’s own region and a split at the border could be made. Beginning in 1960, the original Chicago-Milwaukee region became the Chicago region and a new region was created in Milwaukee. We are one of the largest regions with more than 4000 members and are part of PCA’s Zone 13.
For more on how the region started, click here.
The members of the Chicago Region of the Porsche Club of America are joined together and are mutually pledged to the furtherance and promotion of the following:
- The highest standards of courtesy and safety on the roads.
- The enjoyment and sharing of good will and fellowship engendered by owning a Porsche and engaging in such social and other events as may be agreeable to the membership.
- The maintenance of the highest standards of operations and performance of the marque by sharing and exchanging technical and mechanical information.
- The establishment and maintenance of mutually beneficial relationships with the Porsche dealers and service sources to the end that the marque shall prosper and continue to enjoy its unique leadership and position in sports car history.
- The interchange of ideas and suggestions with other Porsche Clubs throughout the world and in such cooperation as may be desirable.
- The establishment of such mutually cooperative relationships as may be desirable with other Sports Car Clubs.
- Mutual cooperation with Porsche Club of America, Inc. and with other regions of PCA.

Fall is upon us, so in the afternoon of October 7 we return to Hardware Sustainable Gastropub for a laid-back Porsches & Pilsners event. Hardware is a club favorite and the perfect place to start, or finish, a nice drive in the Illinois countryside, or to just hang out with friends. Bruce Burns, Managing Partner at Hardware will have their Brunino Italian Pilsner ready on tap, along with several other fine craft beers brewed onsite.
Park your Porsche in the large lot, check out the beautiful cars, and say hello to your friends. Grab a cold one and relax on the patio, or inside at the bar. Feel like some food? You are in the right place! Make a reservation on your own for whatever time you prefer, before, during or after our event. Hardware is open 12 noon until midnight on Saturdays. Making a reservation helps Bruce and the great staff plan ahead, but they will do their best to accommodate walk-ins. There is no plan for us to sit down as a large group, so you and your friends will need to arrange any dining plans on your own. You can make a dinner reservation via Open Table, here.
Hardware has an amazing menu, featuring fresh greens grown onsite, fruits and nuts from their gardens, and meats prepared in-house. And just so you know, in addition to their fine beers, the bar features 400 whiskeys from around the world. Take a look at the Hardware website and menu here.
Remember, we have a Great Drive that lands at Hardware posted on our website, here.
Please register at Club Registration for this event so that we can inform you of any last-minute details that might arise.
See you there, rain or shine!

Please join us for Porsches & Pastries & Toys for Tots at Labriola Bakery & Cafe
8:30-11:00am

We are going back in for another great Porsches and Pastries at one of our favorite venues. Help us celebrate the 75th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots campaign of giving to children in need by making a toy donation at this event.
We will be accepting unwrapped, new toys still in their original boxes/containers. Stuffed animals and toy weapons that have a realistic look to them cannot be accepted. If you find yourself unable to pick up some toys in time and still want to make a donation, we will have a QR code posted at the event that will direct you to the Toys for Tots donation page. How cool is that?
Please register in advance…we want to give our hosts an idea of how many members are coming and to permit us to reach you if there are any last minute changes. Please include the total number in your party.
As always, please wear your Club name tags to help new members feel welcome. And be sure to say hello to the U.S. Marine Corps volunteers attending this event!
Lastly, remember to be nice to the neighbors when entering and leaving the event. We want them to ask us back in the spring!
See you there!
