Wow! Thanks for posting the pics, looks like an event definitely worth attending.
I live in San Diego, but grew up in Chicago area,..actually go back once a month for a week to an office I have in Schaumburg. Is this an annual event? I'll calendar the next one.

Great timing: not knowing about this thread, today I happened to talk to the RLer whom I helped buy this 993 - the 1st time we've talked about it in ~2 years!
He saw it when it was at Crevier ~2005, & had searched for it ever since.
After Crevier, a CO resident bought it. I got him in touch with my RLer friend, who bought it. Then it sold it to a broker who displayed it at Rennsport Reunion, & now Mr. MacNeil owns Gulf Blau.
Four owners ago:
Three owners ago - when it was RLer owned:
Pics by the broker who owned it before Mr. MacNeil:

Not sure if this is a yearly event. Our Chicago Region PCA just started doing Cars & Coffee events last year.

During the tour, they also explained how they only purchase American made machinery and raw materials. This was a nice size plant. They will be moving out of it soon to double their size again. They are pretty much a 24 hour 7 day a week operation.

My favorite car there, keeping in mind there were GT3, GT2, Carrera GT, Speedster, Turbo S, was his 959. I did not remember the rain gutters were shaved.
