I recently found a 1993 Concept Boxster brochure given out at the Detroit Auto Show in June 1993. I forgot it was in my Archive files and my grandkids almost sold it last week at our PCA Swap Meet for $1 dollar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I still have it.

Interesting changes with today's 2014 Boxster. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Tom Attached thumbnail(s)

I had that same brochure from Detroit as well. It may very well turn up at Mom's house in MI someday, but likely it got tossed long ago.

OK, I was contracted to make the roll bar you see in the photo for this car around 1993. I made the dies and bender to make an arched tube from pillar to pillar. It's a 928 Roadster. Hmmm... Looks surprisingly similar.

IIRC, there was no engine in the concept car.
