Almost made it! The Dart stalled at the corner of West Crogen and Langley about 430p...Lawrenceville Police arrive at 5p to push me to shoulder...AAA arrived at 730p....lots of offers to help... A few stopped to talk about the car...several folks alerted me to the classic car show at the fairgrounds...a couple of offers to buy it...only one creepy guy! Basically I held a private car show at the corner of West Crogen and Langley! Sorry I missed it! Next year I'm in!! (It's probably the alternator... Now power to dash or ignition but electric convertible top works...battery shows power but no spark otherwise...)

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…

Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future.
