I really enjoyed looking through the pictures. Thanks for taking the time to post 'em.

Looks like great fun. I hear it was a might bit wet!

Pearl white was a very pricey option back in the day, too. $10k if I recall correctly.

Bill-- Your Glacier White's pretty rare, too, but you're right:
RLer mingson wrote that his Pearl White 993 was a $12K paint to sample.

The Taj himself, John Dixon (RIP), wrote about his TT that "The paint job alone cost more than our first house."

It's the painted-to-match wheels that I'd like to know more numbers about: dimensions, etc.

It didn't dampen the spirits of the Concours d'Elegance judges
BTW, congratulations on your incredible Concours score, JD!

'Speedy' had a good day. Maybe the best award?
...Based on children's simple pure passion, the Little People's Choice is the 1st annual Concours award solely from kids.

Recall Seinfeld's video of how Porsches are like marbles:

Another 993 Parade winner:

RLer sdoolin & his wife not only placed in the top of their Time Speed Distance (TSD) relay, but

[wait for it]

...they're still on friendly terms with each other! AMAZING

Congrats to Steve, who gave permission to post this smiling winners' pic:

FrenchT: great eye for detail ^^
I wondered the same when I examined the '85 prototype in person. The posts may facilitate a fabric tonneau cockpit cover, as posted in 2009's "Speedster cover" thread.

Another option is '83 prototype's hard cover; see below.
The owner of the 1985 prototype in question just e-mailed me re: another Speedster detail (whether 1989s had OEM "Speedster" emblems). Want me to ask him to confirm the posts' purpose?
OEM cab tonneau altered for a custom Speedster:

More pictures ! It was a great Parade.
Best of all,while my car was being judged,my wife slipped away and found Dr. Wolfgang Porsche. She asked him if he would be so kind as to sign the inside hood of my car. Without hesitating,he graciously followed her back to my car and SIGNED it !
My wife took a picture of the early 356 and posted it on FB,asking friends if they knew what that small rectangular area was. We got anything from a 5-CD disc changer, little fins that come out & turn the car into a submarine, 1940's way of flipping off another driver, to the correct answer of turn signals !

Wow, beautiful photos - thanks for sharing, Mark
Maybe more will add their pics, too.

Sounds like you & your wife make a great team
Nice semaphore photo ^^
