San Francisco Porsche dealers of the day?

[BrentF]

What do you make of this frame? Couldn't find a thing on the web about a Peninsula Porsche?

Possible precursor to "Wester Porsche" (in Monterey)? If your car was 'definitively' sold in San Francisco, wouldn't you want a "San Francisco" dealer frame? (Monterey is 2 hours away.)

Dealer plate frames were not nearly as pervasive where I grew up (Toronto) as they appear to have been in the States. I like the idea of a vintage dealer frame on my 911 and would like a frame that (loosely) associates my car from the area where it spent the majority of it's life, and therefore that rules out any dealers from LA (for example) My 911 was a one owner car from 1969- 2011 (42 years). If I knew the exact dealer, then I'd seek out that plate and only that plate, but I don't. The original owner is deceased and all I know is that she is from San Francisco.

Apart from a vintage plate frame, I am looking for a frame that is in excellent condition and whose graphics employ the word "Porsche" or a decent rendition of the Porsche crest, along with the dealer's geographic location. Preferably a dealer location that (to someone in Toronto) is unambiguous about where it's located. This frame meets those criteria.

Penninsula, huh? Not listed on any of the PDLs that I have --- for MY '69 thru '74

There's a Martin-Johnson on eBay . . .

Also, typ901 was selling some dealer frames, here, not too long ago . . .

If I was looking for a frame for a '70, from a City dealer, then I'd probably go w/ a Carlsen --- see post# 239 . . .

All of this stuff is around, so . . .

Thanks LongRanger, helpful as ever!

I was going thru what's currently for sale last night and did send a PM to typ901 to see if his Robert Brown Andersen-Behel plate frame is still available (in that link you provided), but haven't heard back yet.

In the meantime I thought I couldn't go wrong with this Carlsen frame (exactly as you suggested!) that I found on Samba for $45 shipped, including insert. I realize it's not vintage, but I figure I couldn't go wrong while searching for that perfect vintage frame. As you probably know, Carlsen is still an active Porsche dealer.

I know it is cheating, but just had them made.
