    WTB: Vintage Dealer Plate Frame "Berkey Lee" Albany, CA

    Looking for a plate frame for the dealer who first sold my 911E. Turns out my car was the last one sold by Berkey Lee VW Porsche (Albany, CA) before they sold the Porsche side of the business. Any leads greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, LongRanger - that would be the one I'd prefer if I had a choice, but I suppose I'll be searching for a long while!

    I've got a pair of BERKEY frames from the mid 60s, I believe. Berkey-Lee moved to Hayward some time in 62 or 63, I think. Just became "Berkey" and later moved to Livermore and changed names again. I'm not much of a historian, so additions and or corrections gladly accepted

    Hi Jim - thanks for your post. I doubt you're selling either of those frames (assuming you would have mentioned it) but sent you a PM just in case.
