Geneva Concours, August 24, 2014
After taking a year off, we assembled a collection of 356s again for the Geneva Concours of 2014. As in 2011 and
2012, we put the cars on display in the parking lot behind the Kane County court house and posted placards along
Third Street, the main drag of the Concours, to alert the crowd to our presence. Despite a shorter-than-usual
lead time, we were able to line up a display of 16 cars spanning 11 years of 356 production and including examples from
5 of our 7 historical groups:
Group 1: Pre-A, 1950-55
Group 5: 356B T6, 1962-63
- Kevin Murray, Coupe
- Jay Yost, Cabriolet
- Doug Feistamel, Coupe
- Cliff Holle, Coupe
Group 5: 356B T6, 1962-63
- Bill Van Nortwick, Coupe
- Tom McGinty, Coupe
- Paul Masanek, Cabriolet
Group 6: 356C, 1964-65
- Tim Curtis, Coupe
- Gordy Smith, Coupe
- Chris Davitt, Cabriolet
- Gene Gully, Coupe
- Jeff Roseberry, Speedster
- Curt Crowell, Speedster
- George Peirce, Convertible D
- Gerry Dunn, Roadster (T5)
- Stephen Schmidt, Roadster (T6)
The display was set up by Jim Hinde with welcome assistance from Peter and Thomas Van Nortwick, Wally Wright, and the Club members who generously brought their cars. Special thanks to Kevin Murray for lending us his Pre-A Coupe for the day.
