Default Re: Bill Jacobs Chevrolet

----I knew Billy pretty well. Hard guy to get to know. I was partially employed by Billy thru Classic Motors and completely restored a 150 Jag fixed head coupe that had absurdly low miles but had been stored badly. Also had many smaller projects over the years. Billy and my boss, Richard B, were very close friends as well. Underneath it all he was a very nice, very private family guy. His Dad would have been at the head of the dealership in the Yenko days and I never have known it to be a Yenko dealer for what it's worth. They may have done some dealer trading with Jack Douglass Chevrolet, but I don't remember them being close personally..........Bill S

---- I hadn't heard about the Dick H connection, but it makes sense. Oh,,,I spent many a winter Weekend day at BJs swap meet back in the day!!!!!!! I miss those days and the camaraderie! Anybody notice the misspelling of Camaro?????
