Default Ever heard of a

Hey,
Is there any truth to a rumor that there was a foam "Rat" type figure (about 20" tall), that was ever used to promoted the cars at the dealership when new?
Thanks,
Gary

Yes, but not at the car dealership. I Remember a display of that type at the local hardware where they sold DECON Rat killer.

Seller says it was promoted by "Yenko Baldwin" (sic) in '67-'68!!! Probably has stamped "Made in China 1997" on the bottom.

Its a shame to see that the yenko name continues to be used this way many years ago i saw some thing like the big rat at a old hardware store and it had NOTHING to do about the name yenko
