To be honest, we had to do a double-take before realizing it was Bobbie Carson.
Bobbie Carson recently achieved notoriety for being the oldest American to take delivery of a Corvette at the National Corvette Museum. But, what makes the story even more special in our eyes, is that he’s also 95 years old, a veteran of World War II, and a Bronze Star recipient.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models.
