Dana Point Concours d'Elegance - 2013

Wayne Baker has participated with his 1974 Carrera "Old blue" at the Dana Point Concours on Sunday July 21st 2013.
Although it was overcast, there were a lot of Vintage Porsche enthusiasts who gathered on the lawn at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott. The crowd and number of entered cars have doubled since last year's concours.
It was nice to see many old friends and new enthusiasts. Our neighbor Tom and Annette of La Jolla Shores drove their red '63 Porsche Coupe. Tom won 4 chrome wheels by Stoddard.
Hope to see everyone again at next year's event! For more information about participating or display go to the official website http://www.danapointconcours.org/
