Default Re: Wallace Chevrolet Linden NJ

Marlin,I think Wallace used Linden Airport to store their overflow inventory of new cars. Its quite possible they may have owned or leased storage space at the airport. My friend worked in and around the Wallace body shop or dealer prep department back in 68-70? He has told me stories of his ventures to Linden Airport to pickup new cars for prep. Some of those new cars just happen to be the 70 Yenko Deuces. I told Dan P. I would call my friend and get his whole story on his days at Wallace Chevrolet. More to follow, stay tuned!!!!! Kevin

Good stuff guys. Keep it coming. I know it gets hard to talk to people who were there back in the day and then take their information at face value. I can't remember details of what I did last month so I know I would be pretty sketchy on details back to 68-70. But when you get multiple people retaining the same details it makes for some good history.

Thanks Kevin, I was confused - I thought you meant the Newark airport! The Linden airport makes sense, the owners of Wallace Chev. were also pilots I believe, so they would have interest in the local airport. Hey, at least it wasn't a plutonium site like Yenko's holding lot [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hey Marlin, Did they ever get that Yenko lot cleaned up? I'm thinking we could make some money on Ebay. We could sell little lead containers filled with Yenko dirt from that holding lot. Remember the canned radiation for sale at Carlisle after the Three Mile Island accident? Hmmmm! Any investment partners out there? I can see it now......Original Yenko Dirt......Stripes on the can.....Comes in Six Original Colors.....Buy Now!!!!......$1500.Kevin
