Geneva Concours, August 25, 2016

For the second year in a row, the Geneva Concours organization invited the Midwest 356 Club to display our cars on the block of Campbell Street adjacent to the county courthouse.  This year, the weather cooperated, and we fielded a display of 20 cars spanning 11 years of 356 production and including examples from all 6 of our historical groups:

Group 1:  Pre-A, 1950-55
  • Kevin Murray, Coupe
Group 2:  356A, 1956-59
  • Steve Moore, Coupe
  • Howard Yefsky, Coupe
Group 3:  356B T5, 1960-61
  • Randy Misner, Cabriolet
  • Jeff Sydel, Coupe
Group 4:  356B T6, 1962-63
  • Leo Dreisilker, Coupe
  • Wally Danes, Cabriolet
  • Paul Masanek, Cabriolet
  • Bill Van Nortwick, Coupe
  • George Mann, Coupe
Group 5:  356C, 1964-65
  • Bob Burnham, Coupe
  • Chris Davitt, Cabriolet
  • Gordy Smith, Coupe
  • Scott Bartmess, Cabriolet
  • Ed Holmes, Coupe
Group 6: the Speedster and its successors
  • Curt Crowell, Speedster
  • George Peirce, Convertible D
  • Gerry Dunn, Roadster (T5)
  • Jim Hinde, Roadster (T5)
  • Stephen Schmidt, Roadster (T6)

The display was set up by Jim Hinde with welcome assistance from Bill Van Nortwick—who delivered the signs and filled all the water jugs—and the Club members who generously brought their cars.
