I am updating my 914 SWAG webpage, adding a bunch of dealership license plate frames and need more info on Washington State VW-Porsche dealerships. Any oldtimers from the Washington area remember if these dealerships sold 914s when new or did these dealerships pre-date the 914?

If anyone has photos of any other 914 dealership SWAG they are willing to share, please email them to me and I will put them on the webpage.

My 69 911t was purchased thru Freeway Volkswagen in Seattle which later became University Porsche in Seattle (where my 73 914 was from). I'll send a pic of a Freeway VW frame I tracked down a couple years ago for your site. If anyone has a University Porsche frame- I have an extra Freeway VW I'd trade!

Metro Motors was in Downtown Seattle (8th and Westlake) and became a Toyota dealer but now the building is still there as a parking lot
Yes, I was mostly going to Freeway VW but it split off for the University Porsche Audi Dealership. I test drove a few cars there buying a 75 Dasher from them (Porsche Salesman's car)
There was that Porsche Audi Dealer in West Seattle too can't remember his name

Thanks all.
Craig, were Econo and Sutherland both 914 dealers? I have no other resource to confirm.

I'd love to find a Sierra Porsche+Audi frame from the San Bernardino area. My car was originally sold there and our esteemed members Al and Harvey Weidman worked there at that time.
Whoops! I didn't notice you had two separate threads on this... Sorry Jeff.
