I found this in a box o' stuff I haven't opened in years. Does anyone have any history on this dealer?

i was about to say what dealer .... i can't see any dealer reference
nice belts and seats.
Karl: E911SR #792 ; RG #420 ; GS #7

I don't know Karl, I guess I was assuming that it was a dealer frame... who else would have these made up?? A tourist item maybe? Who knows. Maybe Don A. I just like it as an old relic to hang in the rafters. Some history would be good too though.

I was there in 1971;salesman was talking to a customer,customer left salesman put on his coat,finally after standing there for 20 minutes he ask me if he can help me,i said how much was the 911 targa in the showroom,he handed me a photo copy of a price list and left;the very next day,i went to mid island p/a and bought a new 1970 911s;i think they became queensboro p/a
Yikes Frank. I'm guessing he didn't make salesman of the month.
But we know the place was there in '71 at least. Thanks.

Thanks. I worked for Butler VW in downtown Buffalo. I remember we had
914's coming thru the doors a lot but never recalled it being officially called VW/Porsche. Now it's all coming back to me.
