With over 850 NEW pics in my files, maybe I should throw the odd one on here occasionally...  So, here's Don Burns VW and Don Burns Porsche + Audi for you  What wouldn't you give for a time machine?  |

Yes. It's a publicity postcard I borrowed from Doug Mische. Cool, huh? |

Keith, those are GREAT! Here's one from way back, as well.
Green Motors in 1971, on Bloomfield Ave. in Norwalk, So Cal. Later, when the McKenna family bought it, I was a Service Advisor there and they had changed the name to Five Star VW.
Somewhere, I have a picture of when I worked at Circle Porsche+Audi Ltd. in the Parts Dept. But I currently can't find it. I DID find this. Sometime back in 1984 or '85. I dug on these headlights. My friend, Jim, sent them to me from Germany. The buckets were 6 volt tungsten VW and the lenses were from a mid '60s Porsche 911. So, I found an extra set of headlight rings and had my other friend, Robert, spray 'em along with the Vitaloni California (Ferrari 308GTSi replica) mirror orange.
My '66 at the Long Beach airport right before I was hired there to fuel 'planes. Note the Circle die-cut sticker on the windshield. Those came in different colors and went on employees', customer's, and some of the dealer sponsored racecars.
Let's see some more old photos, please! Keep 'em comin'.
