Denver Concours Car Show
I went today. There were several hundred cars of all types of exotica there, but in the Founders Circle (the best of show) was this lovely 1957 356. It was absolutely flawless and the original owner is still the present owner. He had the original invoice sitting on the dash. Besides this spectacular car, there was about 10 other 356's and about 30 911's of all vintages and one 1968 912. If you copy the photo with the story on it and zoom in, you can read about him ordering this car from the factory.

The owner was there. I met him and had a great talk about his car and the joy of owning one Porsche for 51 years.

It was yet another great charity show at Arapahoe Comunity College put on by our clubs.
Cystic Fibrosis this year. Eat your heart out East Coast guys – 55-70º F, nice breeze, bright sun and no humidity. It had sprinkled overnight and we had ideal weather. Great cars; a ‘new-to-owner' beautiful Sepia ’75 Carrera (with two engines), a nice 914-6, great Speedsters (including Best-of-Show), show quality 356s (I liked the T6 Roadster), a 3-instrument ’65 912, and a bevy of later cars. Too few longhoods but many in the parking lots. Aah - drivers all! Non-Porsches included some great cars. There were good to great examples of almost everything. The ‘cuties’ were an Iseta and a ’59 Nash Metropolitan convertible (the 484-LBS license plate refers to the 1484# weight). As it turns out my friend who took me, has a running ’54 Metropolitan hardtop for sale for $2600. Hummm. Just what I need for groceries. ![]() I would guess there were 2-300 cars and many thousands in attendance. We left about 1 PM and there were ¼ mi lines to get in. I need to talk to Tom about more staff to take the money. Every dime goes to charity. ![]() ![]() Best, Grady
