La Jolla Concours d'Elegance 2013

What an amazing event! It seems like the La Jolla Concours is getting bigger by the year! Personalized Autohaus was showing this year Wayne Baker's 1958 Convertible D on the grass. We also had a couple other Personalized Autohaus customers showing their vintage Porsches including a 1962 Twin-Grill Roadster (owner Bob D.) & a 1963 Coupe (owner Tom H.) 
We all had a great time; again it's about the love of cars and the shared enthusiasm that connects the car owners.
Enjoy the photos and see you next year!
