KEMBLE, Ontario - Sept. 12, 2023 - PRLog -- On September 15 to 17, the Cobble Beach Golf Resort Community will transform into an automotive oasis by welcoming some of the world's finest vehicles along with tours, seminars, and receptions.

The 9^th annual Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance presented by Porsche features a wide range of events that take place over the course of three days.

The first seminar, "60 Years of History" will be presented by Porsche Canada and includes a discussion about "the history that helped shape this iconic rear-engine sports car for the past six decades".
