. . . from the Apr '69 PDL . . .
Ed Pape' Volkswagen
20 Coburg Road
Eugene, OR 97401
Another odd-ball --- w/ Porsche branding on the frame . . . but always called itself a VW store. No PDL references after MY70 so . . . one-year only (?)
Un-restored w/1 clean break + still attached/fused to the plate it was found w/ . . . no maker's marks/ID. Finishes are pretty-much un-recognizeable, so . . . your guess would be as good as mine. Plate = std OR pass iss, '69 base-plate . . . w/ what looks like a coupla decades-worth of reg stickers

Not sure how many Porsches were sold in West Virginia --- like, ever . . . but if you were looking for a dealer, here's one that had a franchise. Although, not enough to push Oldsmobile off their frame
Dull white lettering on a dull grey-blue back-round, flash-chromed, no maker's mark/ID. Plate = std WVa pass iss, stamped w/ yr-of-reg . . . the last year

Veale Volkswagen
1015 Santa Rosa Ave
Santa Rosa, CA 95404
Lots of Veales around --- just not all the same kinds. Red ones, black ones, w/ VW + Porsche emblems, w/o,etc. And I see these all over the place, too --- even caught sight of one on the back o' some local college kids beater bus. These are a set that came off of a '63 Type I 'vert project that had been laid-up for restoration . . . for, like, about 3 decades. Un-restored OG . . . and extremely b!tchin'. Dull red lettering on a dull white back-round, flash-chromed, no maker's mark/ID. Shown w/ vintage CA 'black' plates, pass issue, circa '64. Prolly more appropriate for 356, but? . . .
Some other Veales. Later ones have unique font
Appears on none of the PDLs that I have (between '70 & '74), so . . . interesting that one of these reads Veale Porsche. After '74, maybe?

Nice big fat font . . . see/read this a mile off. Frame looks to've been manually/mechanically brushed or stripped, somehow . . . metal looks pretty decent but only traces of the original red finish left, in the back-round, along w/ some white along the borders
