    Vasek Polak License Frame vs Brian Redman Frame

    I recently purchsed a license plate frame for "Brian Redman Motors". I'm guessing these are pretty rare. Probably much more rare than an authentic Vasek Polak frame.
    According to Brian Redman himself, the dealership was ony in existence for 5 years or less.

    Nice frame and probably rare, but IMHO not appropriate for the 60s 900 series. Unless you bought one from him in the 80s

    Regardless of period correctness, this is one helluva cool artifact. Redman was a giant in Porsche racing and you should be proud to mount it on any car, but especially a 911 hotrod. Put it on the blue goose Dave.

    I'll give you $100 for it!

    Thanks for the comments. I actually think the frame is appropriate for man year vehicles. Brian's dealership was not a new car dealership...he was dealing in exotics, collector cars, and vintage race cars.

    Thanks.... While I tend to think everything is for sale, for a price... right now I'm not interested in selling it.

    ok... I found a second frame, from a former Brumos employee. So I've posted one of the two I own, on ebay. Here is the link.
