If only one person can be "Yenko" then no doubt it would be the person who had the vision to open the original Yenko Chevrolet dealership, remaining a figure head until Yenko Chevrolet was sold, was willing to sign on the doted line for 100 1966 Corvairs, sign another agreement with GM to purchase 500 COPO cars in 1969, and in 1973 relocated to a new, state of the art ($$$) facility in nearby McMurray, etc. That person? Frank Yenko, with the support of wife Martha.


Don, their only son, simply followed in his parent's footsteps, adding his vision to the mix, same as his daughters, maybe grandchildren, are wanting to do, same as Bill Thomas, Joel Rosen's family, Nancy and Connie Gibb, Valerie Harrell and others are doing.
