duPont REGISTRY May 2021

Dear Reader,

The Porsche Panamera is a truly iconic example of styling, performance and functionality. When first introduced it became an instant celebrity from the outside and a phenomenal driving experience on the inside.  Early Panameras continue to hold value. They hold respect, and they hold true to the Porsche story of lasting design. How do I know? I have owned one.

It is hard to believe that more than a decade has passed since the first Panamera debuted. My 2012 Panamera S was a complete automobile from front to back, top to bottom, inside and out and under the hood. Over the years, Porsche has steadily improved the first four-door sedan in its fleet. And now comes the New Panamera. It is the result of Porsche’s constant drive to improve on its own excellence. This piece of bespoke automotive design is appealing to the eye and surely will be more than satisfactory under the hood and in the driver seat. I can’t wait to drive it.

duPont REGISTRY^TM cover cars have always made a statement that has raised the value of our own image. The New Panamera, on our May cover, does just that. Sure, it’s just a peek at the styling but one that arouses the curiosity and excites the imagination. Thank you Porsche for making this an extra special cover car.

P.S.  Gentlemen’s Best is always the best. Beginning on page 17, there are extraordinary items for the enthusiast with refined tastes. There is even a Porsche Design watch. Special note goes to the purveyors of Horse Soldier Bourbon, a group of focused war veterans who have served our country honorably and protected us in every conflict since the Vietnam war. They have turned their energies to a very special blend of bourbon that honors their service and appeals to the patriotic enthusiast. Need to sample some? Visit the Urban Stillhouse by Horse Soldier right here in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Come on down and enjoy some sun. And enjoy a delicious meal and a tasty array of America’s best bourbon.
