The Speedster has a B/C hood handle, were there fake Speedsters by '75 ?
Great picture. Both buildings have the same tile roof.
My first Audi was a '73 100 LS. Great car when it ran.

I'll be out there in 2 weeks and I'll try to get a picture from the same location. It is just south of the bridge dividing Newport Harbor from the Back Bay. I thought that dealer had closed long ago.

It's still a Porsche dealership, but they sell Audi and Bentley there too.

Newport has changed a lot since I grew up there. The local flavor it used to have is largely gone.

I guess everything changes.

This is what I see every time I turn on my iPad.
I attempted to drive my 914 on the ferry back in the 80s. The crew and some bystanders had to lift the front end up so I wouldn’t break my spoiler.

It's hard to tell, if the bentley building is the same building or maybe the building in back is the one pictured, like it's similar, but so different.
