Past Events - Midwest 356 Club

The weather forecast was frightening and accurate. After months of drought throughout the Midwest, August 26 was expected to be a rainy day. And was it ever, a real soaker. But the rain did not shut down the 2012 Geneva Concours or discourage the hardy souls from our club who understook to bring their cars to Geneva for our second annual historical 356 display. We had 19 cars this year, 3 more than in 2011, and 14 of them were in the display for the first time. And over in the big show next door, club member Tony Shaneen entered his 356SC-GT in the competition and won an award for Outstanding Paint.

The rain did not discourage the audience either. We saw a steady flow of people throughout the day. Most were carrying umbrellas, but come they did to admire the cars and read the signs.

The people who brought their cars this year were:

Dan Bell, 1953 Cabriolet

Kevin Murray, 1954 Coupe

Jay Yost, 1956 Cabriolet

Doug Feistamel, 1956 Coupe

Jim Eckmann, 1960 Cabriolet

Jeff Sydel, 1960 Coupe

Brian Stevens, 1960 Coupe

Tom McGinty, 1962 Coupe

George Mann, 1962 Coupe

Wally Wright, 1962 Cabriolet

Jim Ozimek, 1964 Coupe

Gordy Smith, 1964 Coupe

Dennis Juul, 1965 Coupe

Tim Curtis, 1965 Coupe

Bruce Robertson, 1954 Speedster

Curt Crowell, 1956 Speedster

Rick Gurolnick, 1959 Convertible D

Our thanks go out to them for braving the weather and making the event a success. Special thanks as well to Wally and Jay for helping with the signs and to Bill and Peter Van Nortwick for transporting the 1953 Cab.
