Hi Rick,

There are two different hand writings and two signatures on the card.
The other signature I cannot identify.
My father was acquainted with von Hanstein, and they corresponded on occasion.
The car referenced to was our Carrera 2.

That's a nice piece. I wonder if the other signature is Richard von Frankenberg

Another bit of Porsche Automobilia...

This is the purchase order for our Carrera 2, from Hoffman Motors in New York.
The date is August 22, 1962.

That signature appears on other correspondence I have, but is not identified, other than being a member of Porsche's "Press Department".

Here is a note, from the August 1972 issue of Christophorus magazine, about Porsche gold calendar coins. At this point, the coins were "highly polished", which our 1964 coin was not. Early coins were pure gold, 1000 fine, but I don't know if this remained true in later years, or if the contest is still in effect. The standard bronze calendar coins were first issued in 1962.

Yes, imo its Frankenberg.

What a place to have a Porsche --- let alone, a Carrera Cab! . . . w/ mention of 'limited slip differ' + 'spec paint?,' too! Wow! What's w/ that?

And what happened w/ that car?
