Guests Created Their Own Unique Experience at Park Place Porsche Exclusive party
Park Place Porsche in Dallas was recently named one of only six Porsche Exclusive Flagship Dealers in the country. To celebrate, Park Place invited more than 450 guests to a unique event September 10 to experience the limitless options now available to configure their own amazing vehicle in the new Porsche Exclusive Design Center.
“There’s an infinite number of possibilities to customize your Porsche,” said Patrick Huston, general manager of Park Place Porsche. “Whether you’re looking to create a distinctive 911 Turbo, Boxster, Cayenne, Panamera, Cayman or Macan, you’ll discover a level of customization never before possible. You can sit down in our Design Center and select a wide range of options. Then you see the changes on the computer screen to determine how those choices work together. We also have paint, leather, trim, and parts samples in-house where you can touch and feel them.”
Guests who configured a Porsche at the event were entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $13,000 exclusive Chopard Porsche 919 Edition watch from Bachendorf’s. Ron Witten of University Park won the drawing.
Customization was the key to the party. Lombardi’s invited guests to build their own flatbreads. Reyka Vodka and Hendrick’s Gin offered a “create your own martini” bar, where one could choose between Classic, Dry, Sweet or Dirty and select garnishes ranging from a traditional olive or onion to a spiced green bean or a twist. Or any combination they could conjure up. The Lou Lou Ladies Lounge featured unique clothing and accessories so a lady could create her own look. Jo Malone London fragrances demonstrated how to create your own personal scent. The Ladies Lounge also offered refreshing Solerno Fizz Cocktails.
The Men’s Lounge showcased watches from Bachendorf’s, Origins skincare, chair massages, a Hudson Bourbon bar, as well as Krombacher beer and hand-rolled cigars.
There were two Porsche Exclusive cars on the showroom floor for inspiration: a 2016 Panamera and a 2015 911 Turbo S with many unique features. In addition to the Porsche Design Center, Park Place sales experience managers roamed the floor with electronic tablets to help guests configure their own dream car.
