Pittsburgh Vintage
Grand Prix

Eastcoast CoupeFest

July 1998

 

The 1998 BMW CS Registry CoupeFest at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. As more information trickles in, we'll post it here. As usual, click on the thumbnail pictures for the larger image.


Several photos from the CoupeFest Corral.


There were two authentic road-going CSLs in the Corral. One was Marcus Glarner's immaculate Golf Yellow Batmobile. The other was a RHD "Street Model."


Speaking of Marcus, here is his "other" car, this beautifully prepared CSL. He and Arthur Porter duked it out on the track, leading a group of comparatively humble 2002s!


Arthur Porter's 3.5CSL. Even standing still, there is a lot of energy surrounding this monster!


Weird things happen to those who wait. At Sunday's close, the factory folks brought out the factory race cars. Cars recognized by the factory were there as well. It pays to hang around!


And, of course, the people who made it possible for all of these fine Coupes to come out and play, Art and Marilyn Wegweiser, the BMW CS Registry head honchos. Thanks and kudos for their work, and for the opportunity for this writer and photographer to be with them.
