Anyone want to take a guess as to the current cumulative value of the cars in this photo? This lineup of late 50’s-early 60’s Porsche offerings was photographed at the Brumos dealership located at 1444 North Main Street in the early 1960’s. In the building’s window the Volkswagen logo is identified with Brundage Motors Inc. and the Porsche logo as Brumos Porsche Car Corporation. The cars (left to right) are a 1958 356 Cabriolet and a 1961 356. The third car from the left is identified as a 1961 RSK. It looks a lot like the car the dealership was racing at the time, minus the stickers. My sources think the next car is a 550 (think James Dean) and the last two are 1960 356’s. A big thanks to members of the Brumos racing team for their help nailing down the details of the dealership and the car models in the photo. Below is the group shot of the owners and employees taken during the same photo shoot.
I was puzzled by the street address in the window of the dealership which is #30 and did not match the address I was given for the Main Street location. I drove around the property and discovered the answer. The facade of the business in the photo is located at 30 West 5th. Street and is still there 50 years later with the original gold leaf number 30 still in the window.
