Vista Wax ad with Yenko driver

[hvychev]

Does anybody know who the driver is with the Yenko crest arm patch on his jacket? This ad is in Hot Rod June 1970. Is that a Vega that he is sitting on?

Who cares about the guy with the patch? who's the one leaning on the hood /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Sterling Moss, sports car driver, 60's - '70's Circa..

Wow thanks buddy! It only took 1 month and 2 days for the answer! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That is not Sterling Moss. Sterling wishes he had that much hair. He was basically bald, especially by 1970. He was a great Formula 1 and sports car driver back in the 1950s and into the early '60s. He was a PR spokesperson for the Can-Am back around this time and J-Wax was the sponsor for the Can-Am. This ad for Vista wax is just a little play on words by saying it shines like sterling. By the way, whoever the guy is, it looks like he is leaning on the hood of a '70 Torino, not a Vega.

maybe it's Sterling Yenko, Don's 3rd cousin twice removed. You know, the one of Torino/SC fame. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
