Wow....bringing back a lot of memories.
The original Kendon was at the corner of PCH and Normandie. In late 69 ( I think) they moved down next to the Harbor Fwy, nextdoor to Gledhill Chevrolet. When Kendon closed it became a Honda dealer, or maybe something else before Honda went in. It had to be 69 because I remember going to the new store and driving the first 70 914-6 that came into the LA area and Kendon got one before Vasek.
In the late 60s to early 70s all the Porsches came in through the docks in Wilmington and there was a huge staging lot on Willow that would hold hundreds of Porsches until they were sent out to the dealers. You probably know that area is now known as the "3rd world". No mans land. My friend that is a LAPD Harbor Division Captain said they usually don't respond to calls after dark in that area. It can wait until morning!
