Does anyone have a Howard Motors frame form 1956-1958 that they would sell? I’m very interested for a deserving unrestored 356 from that dealership. Will be very generous! Thanks.

I did; thank you. Hoped to catch attention here too. Transport Motors plate also desired.

Took me 15years to find my 1950's Brundage Motors, Jacksonville, Florida frame. I added a wtb Brundage Frame to my signature on the samba, someone saw it, they contacted me & $350 later I have my frame. Don't give up, there's probably one out there!

Per Kardex, my '60 cab was delivered through Intercontinental Motors in San Antonio. They were a big VW dealer back in the day so I put a long-shot want ad in TheSamba.com classifieds. Kept renewing the ad and got a response about a year later for one that had never been used. Sweet.
