    Very nice... but...

    Don't see any early Beetles, or BMWs. Or Alfas.

    Or Jags. The show was focused on air-cooled P-cars. There were a few token models from other marques though.

    16 is a Porsche 904- the last rear race car that you could drive to the track, race and drive home

    52 I'm pretty sure is a 906

    I agree with #16 being a 904 and disagree with other comments.

    I believe #52 is a 910.

    The reason the 300SL was there and I know the owner was because Max Hoffman was the person who brought them into the US and he was involved in several other marques as well. It was a spectacular group of Pcars. The Porsche race (16 & 51) cars were part of ex factory driver Joe Buzzetta's collection.

    Karl Ludvigson wrote an excellent article decades ago, "The Baron of Park Avenue" about Max Hoffman for Automobile Quarterly, Vol.10 No.2
