Is there anyone around in the San Francisco area that has been around long enough to remember City College Volkswagen Dealership? I haven't been able to get any results from a search so I assume the dealership is no longer open or in business under the same name.

This is the licenses plate frame that came with my '66 Beetle.

I'm guessing that's NOT for a VW dealership, let alone any car dealership. More like a vanity frame to support the local San Francisco City Colleges

That makes sense. There is a school by the name City College in San Francisco. https://www.ccsf.edu/NEW/

I do know that my car was originally bought in the San Francisco area by the original owner. Maybe they went to school at City College. I've got the 1966 California license plate as well.
