    Porsche dealership in 1970 San Francisco area , help requested for my quest !

    Hi all,

    I am looking for the origins of one of my Porsches. It was delivered new in 1970 in the San Francisco area.
    I found the name of the first owner and based on that and a few other things I found on the net I narrowed down my search to 1 dealership: ELY PORSCHE+AUDI 19100 Mission Blvd. Hayward, CA.

    Now I am stuck. The certificat of authenticity is not specific (Dealer:UF San Francisco) and the dealership does not exist anymore.

    My car nb is 9110111731

    Can anyone help me with filling the gaps ( info about the dealership, pictures, US delivery details, etc..) ?

    Thank's already for your help !

    Thank's Peter,

    From 1955 till 1981, that covers the delivery year 1970. So far so good

    Period pictures or files from that dealership would be great but i am realistic...

    Great Plate frame ! yours ?

    I lived in SF for a short period of time around this time while in college. I use to go to the Porsche Dealer on VanNess around Sacramento or California and sit and just drool over the 911's in the showroom hoping that one day I would have one. After a while the sellsmen just left me alone.

    My 71 S was delivered also to the same area, and I researched it a few years ago and traced it back to an Oakland CA dealer. There was Carl Carlsen I believe, and Stan Carlsen, both in Oakland/San Fransico.

    Stan Carlsen was a San Francisco VW dealer
    Carl Carlsen acquired Gus Mozart P+A (Palo Alto) in 1973

    Carl Block was the Porsche dealer into the early 60s in Oakland, followed by Martin Johnson Porsche/Audi.
    Ely VW opened Ely Porsche/VW in Hayward and moved to Pleasanton, Ca before selling and getting a new name.

    Regards

    There's an Ely Volkswagen --- located at 3851 East 14th, Oakland, 94601 . . . listed as a Porsche dealer in April '69

    According to the '70 + '72 PDLs that I have, Ely Porsche Audi was located at 19100 Mission Blvd, Hayward

    Interestingly --- Team Lucas Porsche Audi is listed at that same address for 1971 only
