PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (June 25, 2009) -- Every car competing in the 59th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, Aug. 16 boasts a distinct story, a lineage that confers personality and history. But just one of the nearly 200 elegant autos at this year’s show is making a return Pebble Beach engagement after a 53-year absence: the 1956 Porsche 356 1500 GS Carrera coupe owned by Dr. and Mrs. Roger Craig. Dr. Craig, a former NASA scientist, purchased his dream car in 1957, used it as his everyday car for years, then carefully stored it in the carriage house at his Palo Alto, Calif. home for decades before bringing the machine back to life.
