Over the weekend, we took a trip to Concord, California for the NorCal Vintage VW and Porsche Treffen. The show was celebrating its tenth year, and it's amazing the quantity and quality of cars that the show attracted. There was everything in attendance from a brand new 991 GT3 all the way back to a pair of early 1950s Pre-As in both coupe and cabriolet flavor. It was one of the better shows we've been to in a while, and we really hope it continues to grow. Check out some of our favorites and get a feel for the event's character with our following series of photos. Enjoy!

While we were in California for the Dana Point Concours, we stopped by Trevor Gates' house to check out his 356A Project.  He was the winner of our "We Can Save Them All" contest with his car.

A high point of our yearly event calendar is the Dana Point Concours hosted by the 356 Club of Southern California. We sponsor the event and love to help support the club—we even jump in and help judge a couple of the Concours classes. With a beautiful location within view of the Pacific and an amazing group of beautiful and unique Porsches in attendance, this event was memorable for all who were there.

Cars and Coffee is an exciting car show featuring some fascinating cars that turn up for a brief car show on a Saturday morning. Stoddard was at the Tustin event on July 25th. Here's what we found there.

Are you up for the challenge? Can you save the hopeless? Stoddard NLA wants to help save the worst 356 this year by giving away $5000 worth of free sheetmetal and $2500 in other parts for one lucky car (and owner!) Inspired by the recent barn-, field- and yes, even lake finds, Stoddard wants to help restore the most challenging 356 project, as chosen by the members of the 356 Registry.
