 German, not Dutch. Pronounced Faun Noy-mann. He was the West Coast Porsche/VW distributor under Max Hoffman. Many times his wife, Elenor, chased after me at Tech Inspection with a chamois or duster removing any sign of touch to the cars the he, often a Monza or 250 TR, his daughter Josie, often a Mondial, would enter plus a car for Shelby, Gregory, Hill or whoever was free at the moment.
There is a box Brownie shot on my site of the Porsche "America" that he and Baron Von Hanstein ran at the first, unpaved half course, 'hill climb' to turn 4 at Willow Springs in 1953.
There were always California Spyders, later, in the service areas. He ran a great shop before Vandergriff took over.

 I am trying to locate the carrozzeria in Modena that rebuilt (almost from scratch) a California Spyder for a Dutchman approximately 7-8 years ago. Any leads anyone?
 Not a PF car

 While it's widely believed that Pinninfarina designed the California, Scaglietti did the actual design work in an attempt to make a car that looked like a PF design.
