I thought Stoddard was still making/selling these? . . .

Here's a plate frame I hadn't seen before...
Old Dominion Porsche - Audi / Fiat
Richmond VA
Attachment 412870
. . . from the '70 thru '73 PDLs . . .
Circle Porsche Audi, Ltd
4400 Los Coyotes Diagonal
Long Beach, CA 90815
Matte white lettering in dull gray-brown phonographed letter-boxes, flash-chromed, no Makers' marks or ID. Plate = std CA pass w/YoE sticker
An unusual/bit-more-elaborate version of the distinctive frame from this still-active concern. Note the unique font repeated in both upper + lower rockers
Previous mention/appearance/speculation . . .

Other versions @ posts #293 + #391
Store 's moved --- several times, it seems . . . but always within eyesight of the same round-about. Hard to miss
..
. . . yet another version --- some other posts . . .
https://www.early911sregistry.org/fo...l=1#post668467
https://www.early911sregistry.org/fo...l=1#post730347
. . . from the '71 and '72 PDLs . . .
Porsche Audi Manhattan
Sales: 500 Lexington Ave
Service: 547 West 47th St
New York, NY 10011
Dull white lettering in matte black 'phonographed' letter-boxes, flash-chromed, no Makers' marks or ID. Plate = std NY pass, etc --- 'NW' = Orange County
Nicer OG bit = dirty but un-touched. Finer scribing in the lower corners channels RWB&Co . . . but not marked as such
Does anything last in New York?

Love this thread:)

Most of the people who have these --- if they even know that they have 'em . . .
. . . just don't think very much of 'em
'Dad's old stuff.' Pot-metal crap. Junk
I see a picture --- like idarts' . . .
. . . and I want to be in that place --- somewhere I've never been . . . and can never go . . .
. . . but the frames have
And for some of these places? --- maybe not Circle, but a LOT of others . . .
. . . a frame 's about all that's left

That looks a lot like the Paul Newman VW. His was much more subtle but it had the same body aesthetics none the less.Quote:
