Which VW and Porsche dealerships sold the early 914s?, For the 914 Classic Authroized Swag webpage Options

[seanery]

I think Giganti Porsche + Audi did the 914s from the start. One of their old mechanics owns the place that services my car, I'll ask him.

Scala O'Brien Chicago - this is where my 914 was sold in 1975. It appears they ended up in a legal battle with PCNA when, having been promised sole rights to Porsche sales in the Chicagoland area, they took PCNA to court when they discovered a second Porsche dealership was to open in Chicago...

I remember being a sophomore in high school (1969) and going to Carlsen Porsche/Audi on Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco with my parents. I didn't have my drivers license yet. They bought an Audi Super-90. I remember sitting in a 914 on their showroom floor. Must have been the first model year for the 914. That started a love affair to this day. Not sure if it was a 914-6 of not but I do recall how it was green and had what I thought was a sloppy shifter. I believe they closed up shop in SF and moved down the peninsula to Redwood City then Palo Alto. I'm still looking for a Carlsen San Francisco plate frame. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Westwood Porsche + Audi corner of Santa Monica Bl. & Veteran St. in West L.A.
In current days this is now the home of Beverly Hills Porsche; which happens to be almost 4 miles west of the City of Beverly Hills (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Pretty sure my 6 came from Wester Porsche/Audi

I'm from a military family. We were stationed at Fort Ord from 1957 to 1960. Got to know the Westers. Dad wanted to buy an Elva Courier he had on his lot but was too tall to fit with his hat if the top was up. That was (is?) a military reg. So he bought a Bugeye Sprite that had been Don's sisters car (as I recall). The Sprite was my first car when I started college. My brother was on Don's pit crew for his California races (356, RS60, 904, 906, and Genie). Those were the days!

My car was originally sold out of Tom Carsten's Autohaus in Tacoma.

I was going to purchase my brand new 914 2.0 at Max Dial Porsche+Audi on La Brea ave. In Inglewood. Bought it from Downtown L.A. P+A instead.
Got a better deal, a great couple hours Test Drive in the empty (back then) downtown streets too !
My salesman was Heinz Brinkmann, who was also a TV actor. If you remember "Combat" with Vic Morrow aka Sarge, was Brinkmann's nemesis .

I remember "Combat" Marty. Hope they rebroadcast that series someday.

I have an Aero Porsche Audi in Inglewood...were there two including Max Dial P-A?

Jeff, one of my C+C buddy's says that Max Dial P+A /Inglewood, CA. then became Atlas P+A. Atlas was the brainchild of Mike Salta who owned the Pontiac dealership in nearby Culver City. The dealership name "Atlas" is Salta spelled in reverse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The Inglewood dealership in current times is a couple of storefronts + a big lot .

I read through the whole post and didn't see anything about Anderson in San Jose. I was in the place in 1970 and they had a brand new 914/6 and one 911 on the showroom floor. I ended up buying the 911.

Anderson is on my swag list in San Jose.
Later became Anderson Behel in Santa Clara.

Didn't see Alpine Porsche-Audi mentioned in the thread...

Alpine Porsche-Audi in Colorado Springs was originally owned by Duane Mentzer; he was also involved with the formation of Alpine Mountain Region around 1975. I think they sold 914s from the start--an upperclassman in my Squadron at the AF Academy had a blue '71. IIRC, Alpine sold 80+ to my classmates in May 1972.



Picture borrowed from a thread on the 911 registry. I had one on my car too, but it got broken when a young lady "tapped" my car from behind. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
