In my back yard: Vasek Pokak had several car dealerships in the South Bay beach cities - Audi, BMW, Saab, Subaru, VW and Volvo, in addition to Porsche.

He had a large storage facility for his personal race cars under the porsche dealership (below). They must have serviced a lot of 914s ... notice the oil stains? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)




One of my old watering holes (The Pitcher House) was right across the street, and another one (Hermosa Saloon) was just up the next block. Always walked s-l-o-w-l-y past the Porsche store on the way from one to the other (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)




I was an 18 year old kid just out of high school in 1971, I had my first apartment and lived right around the corner from Vasek dealership on 1st place and would walk by the showroom almost daily. One day I saw a 908 race car sitting right next to a new 914-6 and was totally struck by the experience.... both were mid engined cars, both had the wheels way out on the corners of the car, they were also similar in size and stature.... Right there began my love for 914's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Trans Ocean VW-Audi in Pasadena also sold 914's. Mostly used me thinks. I mostly remember Rusnak though. This post brings back memories of the Captn'.

Used to see them when we went by PHS on Sierra Madre Blvd.

I have their original license plate frame on the front of my car.

I might have some pics.

My beloved Aunt Sophie worked at Trans Ocean, and used to get me the little Wiking plastic cars. I had all of the bugs, busses, Karmann Ghias, in both formats. I have a few still, but I had a hundred of them.

Did a search of the local Porsche Dealer when the cars were new. Found this add from the local PCA newsletter. Hope the screen capture works.

This is the only P-A dealership photo I have seen that has a 914 in it. If you have others, please post them here

Anyone got any pictures of the Merlin Olsen Porsche Audi Inc dealership of 15531 Ventura Blvd Encino CA 91436? I was over on holiday from the UK three years ago and just happened to be staying at a hotel two blocks away! The dealership has gone and is now offices. My car was bought from Merlin Olsen on 7/31/1975. Has anyone ever seen a licence plate surround for Merlin Olsen? Attached Image

They're out there and occasionally appear on US eBay. Set up a saved search there and you may get lucky.

The factory dealership list include a Perkins Porsche Audi, not Shulman. I wonder if this was a decal from second PA dealer in Parsippany or maybe Perkins changed names?

Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo became my main hangouts after I graduated from Morningside High in 1972. I almost bought a brand new 2002tii from Vasek's BMW dealership in '73.

I lived in that big old white house at the s/e corner of 6th and Hermosa ... and parking for a '68 Bug, a '66 Ghia, a '64 911 and a '67 VW bus was a bitch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Is that the Don Burns Porsche/Audi (Volkswagen too) dealership here in San Juan Capistrano? I bought a few cars from there, and the old man was still in his office then and there were some DB 911 race cars still in the back. When it closed and became part of the newer VW dealership built next door, they went through all of the old Porsche parts and there was a treasure trove. One guy bought a brand new, never installed 911T motor off of the shelf! The building is still there, but it looks different.


Resurrecting this older thread & post while researching for history on my `73 914, which was bought new by my PO, the OO, at Don Burns Porsche + Audi of Garden Grove, California on 11/6/72 (according to my Cal-DMV reg cards from 12/75> as 2nd owner).

That was before they moved or added the SJC location which you mentioned in your post above Lawrence.

So do you or anyone else know if they were bought by, merged into, or otherwise carried on after the GG & SJC locations were closed, as another Porsche dealership which is still around in OC today?

It's a long shot, but they just might have an old file box or microfilm of the OO's docs & service records from before I bought mine, & maybe even an answer as to why it was repainted from Light Ivory, to Sahara Beige, to Gold before the OO bought it new from their GG dealership.

Cheers & TIA! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Don't know how I missed this one. Great thread. That green car is stunning with the clear lenses and black bumper.
