PCA-I have recently moved to Pebble Beach and am the owner of a 1963 356 coupe. I understand that there is a fairly active 356 group in Monterey that meets the fifth Saturday of the month at Spanish Bay for breakfast. Do you have a contact number for this group?

Jack – I’m impressed a group can figure out when there is a fifth saturday to meet! However, rather than post on our blog, your best bet to reach someone is to visit the Monterey Bay PCA website at http://mby.pca.org/ Hope that helps!
