PARK CITY, Utah — Warehouse hosted a rare viewing opportunity of three Porsche 911s reimagined by Singer on display over the weekend. The commissions shown were examples of the Classic series, Classic Turbo services and DLS services.
CEO and Cofounder of Warehouse Jake Wolf told TownLift, “We’re thrilled to have these three very, very rare Porsche 911s reimagined by Singer here, they’re some of the most exceptional vintage automobiles in the world. This is something that Park City has never seen, and that most towns have never seen.”
It was snowing out during the smaller showing and a Singer representative told TownLift, regarding how they handle in the snow, “Air-cooled cars, like these Porsche 911s Reimagined by Singer, have been driving when the weather is water-cooled for over 60 years.”
They continued, “We’re thrilled to be at this event in Park City and to have the chance to meet drivers, enthusiasts and the wider Porsche community.”
For the three cars, if someone were going to put a price tag on them, it would read approximately $5 Million.
Vern Cooley, M.D., Warehouse member and Singer owner, was instrumental in bringing all the cars’ connections together in one place.

Warehouse’s membership numbers are growing, at close to 250 now, and Wolf says that upcoming might be the last summer to have open-entry opportunities to join. Over the winter their Friday Night Steak Nights were a huge hit for members at their in-house restaurant, along with fine art and fine watch enthusiasts discussions. This summer, marking their second driving season, they’ll have, among the usual offerings, services and gatherings, group drives, track days, and European rallies.
Liam Snihurowych, 18, whose family are members there, was the winner of a recent Fastest Lap competition held on the Warehouse’s driving simulator machines. For his prize, he chose to drive a Ferrari for a couple of days. One of those days will coincide with the Park City High School prom. The only thing left to figure out is whether the red Ferrari or the silver one looks better with the color of his date’s dress.

At the private event, the over-21 crowd sipped High West Whisky and Origen Holistic Vodka, then at the public event, everyone sipped coffee at the first Cars and Coffee show of the season. With live music, the family-friendly auto show wowed the crowd by allowing them to see several Singer commissions more up close and personal than at, say a Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance.
While the membership event attracted 30 people, the Cars and Coffee event drew a much larger crowd — about 600 visitors, twice the expected number. They came to see the cars reimagined by Singer and other fast cars not normally accessible to the public.
Cars and Coffee is the type of vibe whereby if you want a certain car owner to “fire it up”, not unlike the above video, they’re ready, willing, and able to do so.
Saturday morning was also the Grand Opening of the Best-In-State-awarded LUX Auto Spa’s additional new Park City location after 13 years in Salt Lake City. It’s in the same building as the Warehouse. Their services include not only detailing and handwashing to anyone in the greater community, but vinyl wraps and graphics, protective coatings, window tints and paint protection films for the daily driver to the high-end exotics.
Founder and CEO Cougar Elfervig told TownLift, “This is a great group of people who’ve come out this morning, and we couldn’t be happier to now be more conveniently available to work with all the car owners of Park City.”
Free Cars and Coffee gatherings have beenm and will continue to be, held on each third Sunday summer mornings in the parking lot off Olympic Parkway at the Park City Welcome Center.
