Some provenance for the history buffs: In the late 80s, the Porsche-Audi co dealership model was coming to an end. Porsche-Audi dealerships were being split up to become independent Porsche, or Audi. Bernardsville Porsche-Audi in New Jersey changed to become Audi of Bernardsville, hence the Porsche sign had to go. Also in central NJ, Autohaus was a highly respected Porsche repair and restoration shop. The owner was friends with the Manager at Bernardsville Porsche-Audi and was able to secure the sign when it came down. He has stewarded the sign for all these years and is now ready to pass it to its new owner. I am selling on behalf of Autohaus. Happy bidding everyone!
