Gordon Maltby has owned 31 Porsches over 50 years, doing most maintenance and restoration himself. He wrote the highly regarded Motorbooks title Porsche 356 and RS Spyders and has co-authored and edited several Porsche technical, historical, and buying guide books in the years since. He was editor of the Porsche 356 Registry bi-monthly magazine for 28 years, evolving it into a 76-page full-color publication. He lives in Minnesota with his wife and a cobalt blue Boxster.

Grant Larson was born in Billings, Montana and grew up in Wisconsin. A passion for cars led to studies at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, then at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. After three years at Audi in Munich, he joined Porsche as an exterior designer in 1989. He was lead designer for the Boxster prototype, as well as the Carrera GT show car, the Panamera, various 911s and special editions, race cars and most recently, the 935. He is currently Director of Special Projects at the Porsche Weissach studios.
Grant has three daughters—and three 986 Boxsters—and lives with his wife in Illingen, Germany. With a passionate interest in Porsche history, he also owns a 1956 Speedster, a 1957 T-1 coupe (lightweight project) and a 1965 356 SC.
