Jeff,

I saw that "Martin Johnson Porsche+Audi, Oakland" is in your list, but no photo.
My car was originally sold there in May 1971





I think that I still have the original lic plates + frames, but it's somewhere in the basement - I hope to find it soon ...

Done. Thanks Wolfgang!

I bought my first three from "Five Towns" in Hewitt, L.I., N.Y. Starting 1971. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My soon to be Best Man bought a 911 in bronze with a huge black "911" over almost the entire front hood. So they sold some of them as well.

I was told this sign came from the Jones P/A dealership in Springfield Mass which folded around 1977. Now it hangs in my garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Five towns? I don't have that on the list. Was it a VW, Porsche or VW-Porsche dealership and should I add it?

I know some of the history of Thornton Motors in Stockton as I bought my last VW in 1964 from them. I have an old lic. plate frame from the dealership waiting for someone that wants it, in the meantime I will pursue info on the dealership.

I may be interested in your frame.

Got my '71 from Gruber Porsche+Audi in Cedar Rapids, IA in Nov, 1970, and my dad got his '71 914 from the same dealership later the next spring. I don't remember a specific license plate frame from the dealership- it's been a long time!!

Carlsen took over from Gus Mozart sometime in the early to mid 70's. I know they sold 914s out of the Palo Alto site, though I don't know exactly when they started.

Saw this one recently on ebay, but I'm not sure if it's from the 914 era. Mike Nagy might know ... I believe he has one of these license frames.

The first 914 I ever sat in was in the Showroom of Art Bunker Porsche / Audi in Kansas City. (I found these images on The Samba via Google.)

SO do you think that Thornton never sold 914s, that they would have been sold only by Travale?

I think that is probably the case.

Bill Yates definitely sold 914s in San Juan Capistrano CA. Cotton Goff was a Volkswagen dealership. There was a Porsche dealer located next to Cotton Goff in Buena Park called Park Porsche, where my Dad bought an Audi. I think the two dealerships had the same owner but I'm not sure.

Driving down south memorial in Tulsa in 1973. Saw a red car sitting outside. Thought "what kind of car is that"? Turned around, went inside, took a test drive, and bought it on the spot. Bahia red 1.7 with appearance group and pedrinis. $5050.00. Still have it

No, I have Sierra Porsche listed as the Riverside 914 dealer. Did Colley sell them too?

Johnson-Bozzani Porsche in downtown Phoenix. Bought the -6 new there on 9-14-71. Put the frame back on this summer after completing the redo.

Does anyone have any info on Rudi’s in Burlingame? Have asked a few guys from the area older than me and they all never heard of it. Of course everyone knows Neufield and Dave Rasmussen but no knowledge of Rudi’s.

Also, was Rector not selling 914s in Burlingame yet? Figure maybe they didn’t start til the late 70s possibly. Maybe my Bay Area folks can help me get some answers!
