Re: Yenko-Canonsburg
 

I'd like to take a road trip out to see it some time. I visted Mr. Norm's a few years ago. Sitting at the curb right in front of the old showroom was, as Marlin said, eerie.

Here are some angles from the Google street views:

I don't know when the google street view photo's were taken, but this does not look like a very prosperous part of Canonsburg.

There's a prosperous part of Canonsburg?

~ Pete </div></div>was this lot directly across the street or out back?

Re: Yenko-Canonsburg
 

I always understood the pic as being from out back to the left side but comparing the street view and terrain elevation across the street it very well could be...does anyone know for sure?.
And how far back does operation of the DQ across the street go?.
Also what was the site contaminated w/ radiation stories a few years back all about?.

Re: Yenko-Canonsburg
 

I cannot believe with all of the interest in these cars that no one here has set up a non-profit and bought this place as a museum!!!!

The building seems like it is still quite intact and could be restored.

Re: Yenko-Canonsburg
 

Found the thread w/ the note about the radiation thing..
Note what's written below the famous lot pic!.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...348&amp;page=1

Online info indicates the radiation part of the story is absolutely true but not necessarily on any of the property Yenko's dealership was actually located on..
Google the two words canonsburg and radiation...wow!.

Also the holding lot location may not be behind or across the street but actually a block or so away?.
Here's a couple more photos below...thanks to Joe Barr!.
Note the Grumman style Van in the holding lot pic...Copo 'SWAT' vehicle?.

Re: Yenko-Canonsburg
 

If that's a bridge I see in Joe's photo, between the car lot and the white house in the distance, the photo was probably taken near the river behind the dealership.

Re: Yenko-Canonsburg
 

I visted the Canonsburg store a year or so ago. It looks pretty much the same today. Here is the link to the old thread with good pics.
