Hey folks. Anyone know of a shop or hobbies t that restores dealer frames?
Got my eyes on one from the dealer my car was sold from new - hoping I can make this come together - but it’ll need polishing and the infill and letters painted.
Thanks! _________________ Mike

Thought you might like these Dave, found some paperwork from the purchase of the 1968. The beetle has never left the valley!

Just saw this 15 window for sale and noticed the plate frame and sticker. I think the sticker is easily reproduced

I'm pretty stoked about this find I picked up at the AACA Fall meet in Hershey last week. I've seen city frames from places on the west coast like Hollywood and Los Angeles. But this is the first time I've seen Pittsburgh.
Til I can get my hands on a Continental Cars frame for my 56 it'll stay on the back. Then it'll probably end up on the front with my vintage personalized plate.

S
o I bought a large collection ,of parts and pieces. One if the items are a set of Volkswagen frames with the VW logo and MR Bubblehead.
When My father worked for VOA in Pleasanton these were the frames they used on their cars or if you bought a car as an Employee these were put on as there was no dealer involved.
They have no no name on the back of them and I have seen very few of them. I looked through this whole thread and only found one.
Does anyone have a comment on that or help to obtain a price.

Please add this one EV as this style is not listed.

Well folks - it finally happened! On a recent trip south to Florida for No Dough Weekend I had reached out to the owner of a frame I've been chasing for years... Y E A R S to ask if he was ready to let it go.
We kept in touch through the weekend and on my way back north to New York we detoured in Rocky Mount, North Carolina where this plate frame was sold new and stayed it's entire life. The owner had intended to GIVE it to me, but after having made some absolutely ridiculous offers over the past few years I had to give him something (and was glad he accepted)
This is the frame that's been in the gallery here. It's straight (has a small bow in the top right bolt hole but that can be handled) and I am still deciding if I rock it as is or restore it to better match the car.
While in town we stopped to visit the dealership, which though still standing is now a paint store. It seemed appropriate to frame the building...

Great pic and I'm going to add it to the Friar dealer page too.
We have a few modern pics of original dealer building on some of the dealer pages and it's always a cool addition.
If you find any more dealer pics/materials/whatever on that dealer, please let me know so I can add it. _________________ How to Post Photos

Thanks! And will do!
There is one photo in the dealer listings of a Friar frame on a red car, and then in the gallery are a few photos of this frame while I was chasing it.
Curious - Everett or anyone - this was obviously and poorly repainted in its life. Currently it has blue lettering with white backgrounds, which I am unsure if it would have been correct. Most I see are blue with white text though I’m told some were white with blue text. What seems most likely? _________________ Mike
