A new addition to my collection... This was the original Pennsylvania Inspection Station sign that hung outside of Yenko Chevrolet... it made the move from Canonsburg to McMurray when the dealership changed locations, and was eventually replaced by a new sign issued by the D.O.T. when it became worn. A former employee took home the old sign and has had it all these years. Its double sided, and the station # tag hung under the keystone shaped sign by steel chain. I lightly cleaned one side, and left the other side "as found"...probably should have left both sides untouched, but i could tell it would clean up nice enough to display in my garage, so i went against my better judgement and had at it. An obscure Yenko item for sure, but I think its a pretty neat piece of the dealer's history.

Joe, do you have any outside pictures of the Yenko Dealership that would show this ''Sign'' hanging out there,, That would really be neat to display with the sign. Congrats on getting such a new addition to your collection. I sure wish I could find some pictures of Dana Chevy ....Kasey.....

I *think* I have a photo somewhere that shows the sign in the background... I have yet to locate it though, my photos of the Canonsburg dealership are pretty limited.
Tom, or anyone else with old Yenko dealership photos... if you happen to find one that shows the sign, please let me know, It may be "trade" time! ![]()
