“Winning Pebble is the top of the mountain in the Concours d’Elegance world,” said Cam Ingram, owner of Road Scholars. “It’s like winning the Super Bowl. The last time a Porsche won Best in Class was in 2011 with the 1950 356 Gmund Coupe we restored.” The 1952 Porsche is painted Fashion Grey in Glasurit 55 Line, which was the original color when the car was produced. “We love the finish and quality of Glasurit products,” said Ingram. “We use Glasurit paint because Porsche used it during production.”  Only 294 Cabriolets were made in 1952.
