Any info on Porsche of Hunt Valley (Valley Motors) of Cockeysville, MD

[Veronica87911]

Does anyone here remember Porsche of Hunt Valley (or Valley Motors), a dealership from the early 70s? My car may have first been shipped there from Germany. If you have any remembrances, history, old photos, etc. please post here or PM me.
If anyone has a license plate frame from there, let me know also...

I now have a build date of 4/13/1972 and a possible first dealer here in the US of Porsche of Hunt Valley, or Valley Motors, in Cockeysville, MD. That delaership no longer exists. If anyone knows anything about it, or has photos from back then, please get in touch with me; thanks.
Furthermore, after all the years (almost 7) of looking for any sign of light ivory (her color according to the CoA) and not finding any, it has been confirmed that her color IS light yellow. She also had factory air.

Serge, I think you may be looking for 'Towson Valley Motors'. I believe the current Valley Motors Group entity is derived from this early VW dealer. Reference the corporate page here. Here is the info on thesamba.com for Towson Valley.

I grew up in this area and remember the local Porsche importer in the 60s was Stuttgart Import. My best friend's dad had a 356 that he took there for servicing and I recall tagging along a few times. They were famous for sponsoring Bruce Jennings and the early Toad Hall (Michael Keyser) racing efforts and did the wrenching on those cars. As an aside, one of their mechanics is still at it in Towson (scroll down to 'PAST' on his website).

Sometime in the early 70s, when the VW-Porsche-Audi dealer networks were being integrated, I remember Valley Motors taking over the Porsche products. So we kids moved to their lot to ogle the Porsches. I got my license in late '72 and distinctly remember standing in the Valley Motors lot lusting over 911s, so they had the line by then. This is likely were your car originated if it was indeed sold new in that part of Maryland. I don't recall much business-wise in Cockeysville back in those days...
