Out in the western suburbs there used to be:

                       VanValkenburgh Co.
                       544 Lincoln Hwy
                       Frazer, PA 19355
                       (610) 647-4835

They had experience with the old Porsche cars that the dealers have forgotten. I just drove by and saw that all his old Porsches were gone from the front. There is now an Auto Glass company and a Landscaping company occupying the premises.

Does anybody know what happened to them?

I remember driving past that place in 1980.  It was really cool.  There were a bunch of 911s, 914s, and some other oddballs thrown in for good measure.  Speaking of oddballs, I would most likely have been driving an old MG Midget at the time.
