    WTB: Gabriel-Olsen Porsche/Audi License plate frame

    Just noticed that my car was purchased from the LA Rams greats (Roman & Merlin) early 70's dealership in Encino Ca. and thought it would be cool to find a plate frame.
    The Rams were my favorite team back then, as they were the namesake of my little league team. Always wanted our helmets to have those horns on them, back then they were pretty radical!
    Anybody have one or remember the dealership?

    Thanks,
    Bud

    Thanks for the pic raj.

    The Maintenance record book is stamped Gabriel-Olsen on the front page.
    From my brief research I found that Roman sold his interest in the dealership and thats when it became Merlin Olsen Porsche Audi.
    I guess to be correct, I would want a frame from the time that both names were on the frame. Double hard to find eh?

    On the back side of the front page is another stamp:
    PORSCHE AUDI PACIFIC
    11300 PLAYA STREET
    CULVER CITY, CALF, 90230
    Validated signature by: BH Slaughter?...Slaughtis?....Slaughtra? (hard to read the last two letters of the signature as it is double stamped)

    Any clue as to why the 2 dealer stamps?

    Raj, you never cease to amaze me. do you actually have these frames, or do you just save every photo you can for future reference? either way.. how and where did you find something so obscure? incredible

    very cool Raj.

    ive always wanted a stoddard frame, but i have a later plastic one instead. a friend of mine gave me this Hoffman frame as a gift, i have thought about running it, but still undecided. you know anything about this dealership or the time frame?


    i doubt its max hoffman since its santa monica, but it is a Porsche and BMW dealer. any idea what this would look like with paint?

    I don't mean to hijack this thread, but if there is a Ralph Cutright/Santa Monica frame for sale . . . I'm interested in buying.

    Reviving an old thread. I have a friend whose 1970T was sold new at Gabriel Olsen Porsche Audi and is looking for a frame with both names on it. Thanks.
