Summary: Jack Baldwin and his partner, Phil Brown, operated a motorcycle-scooter dealership at 2705 Pico Boulevard. After they had a falling out, Brown sold his side of the store, the scooter side, to Myron Possman, who operated under the name Possman Scooter or Possman Motorcycle, from 1961-1971.

I have a recent photograph of the building that housed Possman's. The address has changed to 2703, probably the street address of the building behind what was Possman's shop. Myron believes that a succeeding owner combined the two addresses. I have been unable to post the photo on my user page.

I need technical help, writing on Wikipedia, information about Possman's and photographs to compile an article about the dealership and its role in the growing motorcycle culture of the 1960s, particularly on the West Side of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Culver City, Westchester, Playa del Rey, and the surrounding area. --ThomasP48 (talk) 13:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
