    Hang on, hang on . . .

    Strictly speaking . . . the parts stuff is pretty-much gone. Some bits, maybe --- here + there . . . but nothing like Way Back When. Those days may be done. Cars are definitely done . . . only a handful of Porsches and most of those were much-later models. Or water-cooled. Saw a Beck. The Vee-Dub, stuff, though? --- as strong as ever. And the knick-knacks. I saw some cars, saw some stuff --- entertained myself, mostly . . .

    . . . and scored a frame!

    Anyway . . . some o' the crap that turned-up in the VW + Porsche section

    1) Pomona Stash wagon. Low . . . . Rye . . . . Duh

    2) Chesterfield? And jeweler's signage? Too much time on their hands, or something. Sheesh --- what's next? License plate frames?

    3) Criminy Christmas --- haven't seen one o' these in, like, forever!

    4) Polaroids, anyone?

    5) $60 . . . $85 w/ admission. (Your memory is most excellent Mr Gris . . . and most correct)

    There's actually a replica gas burner made in aluminum. I suspect that's what you've captured.

    Beck Spyder . . .

    Conventional/modern 4-bolt 'closed' wheels --- vs 'open centers' . . . usually means disc brakes are fitted. Unknown spec + motivation . . . but note the shut-lines. Car's 'glass --- like all 550 reps . . . but Becks are usually the best when it comes to fit + finish --- outta the box, at least

    I vividly remember driving one of these --- almost 30 years, ago! . . . see posts #10 + 11 . . .

    http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...-a-Beck-Spyder...

    This one's $33.5k

    Maybe not this one, though

    Asking $40k . . .

    . . . . mmmm --- Orange!
