Found this in with car paperwork. It doesn't match the vin on the car and this vin is not in data base...
It's the recall letter, and it's hand signed! Does anyone remember this dealership?
I thought it was interesting...

Neat document. Funny how the repairs kept piling up as the letter progresses. 'While we are in there we will also fix this, and this, and...' Otto Zipper sounds like the name for someone in a very different line of work.

Zipper was on the corner of Olympic and Westwood in West Los Angeles for a long tome then moved to Wilshire in Beverly Hills.

I remember BMW, Porsche Alfa, Jensen....

It is not 914, or even Porsche, but here is my favorite letter that I have in my collection.
