Review of Steve McQueen’s Alma Mater – "Boys Republic" Car Show

Arranged by the Porsche 356 Club of Southern California, American icon Steve McQueen, was the feature draw for a car show held at his Alma Mater, “Boys Republic” in Chino Hills Ca. Steve died nearly 28 years ago but is still giving back to society. His presence on the world stage left a legacy that continues to create new legions of fans. Steve is the only endorsee of Tag Heuer watches that is not alive and yet his Monaco watch is still among their best sellers. Starring in movies like ” Le Mans” (in the opinion of many pro drivers one of the best race movies ever made), Bullit (in the opinion of almost everyone who has seen it, one of the best chase scenes ever filmed) and the Great Escape (with the most famous motorcycle stunt ever filmed), Steve became an American Legend.

The crowd was treated to an eclectic and exciting variety of vehicles. There was no shortage of Porsche 356’s – both street and race. Porsches in general, and Mustangs including vintage versions of the Bullit GT350, the GT500, and the Shelby Cobras where the dominant marques. There were also two special Ford Mustangs there, which were used in the pilot of the `Knight Rider’ remake. Not lost among all this fabulous machinery and drawing their share of admirers were my Graphite Gray 1965 Pinanfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce side by side with a 2005 Black Pinanfarina Ferrari Testerossa.

One of the shows major attractions was, Matt Stone and Chad McQueen doing a joint book signing for Matt’s book “McQueen’s Machines: The Cars and Bikes of a Hollywood Icon” . In addition, thousands of dollars were raised by having a raffle featuring donations from a2z Racer Gear that included a replica of the famous Team Gulf Jacket worn by McQueen in the movie Le Mans, a couple of McQueen Le Mans tribute hats and a laminated version of the famous “2 Finger Poster” and “McQueen Le Mans Movie Poster”.

This event was an first effort by the Porsche 356 Club to put on a Concours of this magnitude and, having attended many hundreds of these events, I can say it was professionally executed and I hope the basis for additional gatherings.

There are many watches consumers can buy. Thousands of watches are manufactured every year. Not all watches make it to the shelves however, as retailers simply will not put watches on display that they feel may be difficult to sell. Strong brands such as DKNY, Tag Heuer, Seiko and Hamilton will always be put on display, firstly because of the brand name but also because each and every watch is worth putting on display.

The bigger and more established a brand is the more likely it is that consumers will take notice. This is because a brand name offers consistency and a reputable image that consumers connect with. In the last few decades other watch brands that perhaps have not had the long and established history as some of their competitors have had, have forced their way into the market due to quality of their watches but also because of the look and feel of the watch. These watches quickly become very fashionable and demand increases rapidly.

Consumers are always craving the latest watches. If these watches are worn by celebrities, then the demand becomes even higher. People want to look and feel good all the time and what better way to do this than by wearing the watch of their favourite Hollywood celebrity. Popular stars such as David Beckham and Jennifer Lopez are great role models and many people aspire to be them. If they wear nice, exquisite, fashionable watch, chances are many other consumers will too.

There are many opportunities throughout the year when consumers buy watches. This may be for them or it may be for a friend or a loved one. Either way, the more fashionable a watch is the more likely it is going to be bought. Retailers will do their best to keep stock levels of these fashionable watches high to make sure as they never run out. That said, if a watch is popular enough and people think the watch is fashionable chances consumers will snap it up very quickly.
