The Summer Edition 1967 Porsche Distributers and Dealers brochure lists:

Carl R. Carlsen
1600 Van Ness
SF, CA

and

Stan Carlsen
1900 19th Ave.
SF, CA

I have one plate frame each as my window sticker states Carl and my maintenance book is stamped Stan for a '68 912.

Glen Porsche Audi, Corporation
(US) Route 6 and 17M
Middletown, NY, 10940

Semi-matte white lettering in a single matte pale-blue letter-box, traces of white around raised edges of frame; no Makers' name/ID . . . only the notation 'No.4 - SINGLE COPY HEADER' on the back of the upper cross-piece. Unique design . . . if maybe juuuuuust a bit un-imaginative. And damaged, too, unfortunately --- bottom 2 mounting tabs are MiA. Plate = std NY pass plt, w/ yr/mo of reg exp

Some kinda plumbing-supply outfit 's there, today, from the looks of it. Nothing much left of the dealership --- 'cept their old overhead lights . . .
