[sYc]

Guys, here goes. Yes, I have a large amount of the paperwork from Yenko Chevrolet, including VIN numbers, as well as quite a bit fron Don's own stuff. I feel much of the information contained is accurate, but not all. I can only speculate as to why Don did this. As per Douglass, Rob has quoted the part that mentions the Douglass cars. This was taken from an article being done on Yenko Chevrolet. The draft I have is the one where Don edited it. At this point, that is all I have found on Douglass, except of course for the cars that are listed on the inventory sheets from Canonsburg, sold by Douglass.

I am not doubting that Jack was a Yenko dealer, nor that he bought stripes/emblems from Don for use on his COPOs, nor am I doubting that they were advertised/sold as Yenkos. Nor was I questioning Jack's or Stephano's integrity. That was never my intent. The point I wanted to make was this. In my opinion (sYc), these cars are not Yenkos in the same way as Canonsburg cars. They are Douglass COPOs with unique ties to Yenko, and should be listed as such, maybe with an * after COPO. Any of these cars that were sold new with Yenko stripes and/or emblems are entitled to do so now. I had hoped to see one of these special cars (Dover white one)at the reunion, but will have to wait until Shor brings his car next year. If it is shown with Yenko stripes and/or emblems, it will certaintly add to the event, which has become well known for the displaying of rare and unusual cars and related artifacts. Tom
