Cars and Coffee at Carillon Park, September 16, 2017 -- a very nice REAL 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder


Part II of my report from this morning's event.  I should know the owner's name but I have forgotten it. What is important is that is a very one-off 1955 Spyder, raced at Watkins Glen and also the old Pebble Beach. The owner widths paint job himself, and I commended him for it. It is remarkable work for someone whose day job is making TV commercials. The car weighs 1200 pounds and has 180 horse horsepower.  You really have to keep both hands on the wheel and don't use a cell phone while driving.
