WTF, that's stupid... it doesn't even have a VW or Porsche emblem on it. Smile

Reminds me of this recent Competition Motors frame for $2126(!)

Someone enlighten me, what's the big deal with Catron Pomona frames? I remember going to the Pomona swapmeet and someone had tons of them, both metal and plastic for about $10 each. Didn't really care for them. Heck it's Pomona!

From a sellers point of view I feel it’s because of the increase in the wanted ads for this frame so everyone wants it now but Most likely tho a few buyers bidding on it want it bad and can’t wait for a good deal on one. I have an insane amount of Catron frames now never paid more than $75 for a single perfect condition frame for the late frames and up $1k for the very early 50’s frames. I only want them because that’s where I’m from ... graduated Garey high in 85 Cool so the Pomona Swapmeet is pretty much my
Backyard sooooo “stay outta my backyard” Laughing Laughing Laughing

Ok soooooo it’s now over $1700 with a day left to bid Shocked and as expected a few more Catron frames just popped up on eBay Laughing Laughing Laughing

I predict a massive influx of Catron frames on eBay now, probably a bunch with insane Buy-It-Now prices too.

Been watching a long while now for anything from JC Friar Volkswagen in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. I understand it'll likely never pop up.
But does anyone perhaps have a photo even of a decklid decal for the dealer I can replicate?

Yup, I looked into it, and was also stoked, until I saw they were stickers, and like you said for a mere $185. Shocked Rolling Eyes

Has anyone ever come across one for, or was familiar with Burton Hicks VW in Westfield Massachusetts? I'd love to fine some memorabilia from my old local dealership.

The Westfield dealership operated under several names over the years.

Without having post-1969 dealer directories handy, here goes:

- Burgess-Hicks VW, 1964-~68, dealership opened 04 November 1964
- Burton-Hicks VW ~1968-74
- Westfield VW ~1974-88
-- Bob Sheehan's ~1974-76
-- Kantany's ~1976-1988, dealership closed 24 August 1988

my 57 hardtop Beetle was delivered to St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada, and all I have been able to find is the dealership, incorporated in December 1956, called Import Motors, Ltd. Researching the Samba, all I have found is a paper document showing transportation costs from Port Of Entry Toronto to St. Johns...does anyone know if they even made license plate frames, and if so, if anyone has one would they be willing to let go of it?

I'm looking to buy one or two license plate frames from the Klein Foreman dealership in Van Nuys, CA. Restored or restorable.
