Californian Guy Newmark's C Coupe, which has been in his family since new, had 982,000 miles on it when this video was produced in August of 2013.  He expects to be a little shy of a million when he celebrates the car's 50th birthday next year, but who knows?  What is certain is that this is a guy who loves his 356 in a way that is an inspiration to us all.


For a number of Club members who live on the North Shore or are willing to take an early Sunday morning drive, the monthly Coffee and Classics get-together in Winnetka has become a favorite driving-season activity.  In April 2013, Sheridan Road Magazine did a feature on C&C and also filmed this video, which features several Midwest 356 Club members.
