I went and got some photos, but I hope you understand that I'll keep the best for myself to post in the "Porsche Picture of the Day".
I keep hoping to see the day the P. A. Concours regains some of its old glory and elegance ( pun fully intended ) when it was held on the Stanford Athletic field and world-class cars were routinely shown. The current venue is awful, and the event has been dumbed down to bring in the masses.
The first group of 5:
1,2, & 3. - '59 Porsche Carrera 4-cam Coupe
4 & 5. - '39 BMW pillarless Coupe.... a majestic road car that rivaled Mercedes - Benz
Before it became Ruprecht, my Porsche was a '70 911 T

Second group of 5:
1 & 2. - red '65 Porsche 356 C Coupe
3. - an even 1/2 dozen Cords.....only four shown due to layout on field
4. - in my view, THE "Car of the Show"......Miles Colliers' '38 Maserati 8 CTF 8-cyl. supercharged Grand Prix car. 1 of only 3 produced, they were built specifically to stop the onslaught of the Third Reichs Silver Arrows. It wasn't until this model came to the US in '38 that it started winning, bagging a Pikes Peak run and winning the Indy 500 with Wilbur Shaw. Magnificent ! ( I have several detail shots if you're interested )
5. A mid-engined ARDUN equipped hot-rod..... heady stuff for Murrican Iron !!

May as well post the rest of the Maserati photos here & now........the car's just too rare and precious to hide the images on a hard drive.
