356A 1600S # 106185

#1 Post by Max Minshull »

Hi everyone,

First post. Just wanted to share our coupe #106185, which was just serviced by Bill Perrone and is an absolutely dialed little coupe. I'll be adding more information soon, but here are a few pictures. Photos are #1/2 at Jack Staggs Happy Hour on Friday at 3:56...#3 On the road back from Jack Staggs Friday Happy Hour and #4 after it got back from service.

Must have been a January 59 build Max, just after mine, 105955. Nice car but then I am biased. Welcome to the forum.

We should do a 356 South Bay meet-up. Do you attend PCA events typically?

Hi, Max: I don't usualky attend the PCA eevents like the breakfasts, etc. This coming Saturday is the P.V. Cars and Coffee on the upper level thester parking lot at the Peninsula Center (off Silver Spur and Indian Peak.). People start arriving about 6:30 am and wrap it up about 9:00. I hope to see you there. There are several of us 356 owners in the South Bay. I drive a slate gray '63 coupe.

I checked out the pics of your car snd recognized Catalina Avenue in Redondo Village.
