Default Re: Dealer Emblems

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this but I thought some might like to see these photos. I worked at Jack Douglass Chevrolet for 7 years and did find some memorabilia I saved. I saw a nice1969 yellow Yenko at MCACN that had a dealer sticker on the valve cover and told the owner’s friend that the sticker was wrong for a 1969 and I had the correct script sticker. I never did hook up with the owner and now I can't find it but it will show up.
The bow tie sticker below with Hinsdale on it we started using in the mid 70's I believe. The key fob I think is cool, the style looks older but we must have started with those after 1968.
The misc stickers seem kind of an odd marketing idea that Chevrolet sent us. "Belt your wife & kids,” they wouldn't say that today.
The last picture is my plate off my 1969 yellow Yenko that I sold in 1984. There have been a couple posts mentioning my car or possibly me so I thought I would reply. It was an original engine, trans, & diff car that had only the rear original Yenko emblem remaining on it. A local parts guy Barry Hampton & I had the emblems reproduced in Japan, I think. We ordered maybe 500 of them I have 3 left, wasn’t a great seller in early 80s. My car did not have hood stripe, side stripes, or headrest logos. I did put Yenko side stripes on it when I restored it. We also found the holes in the fenders for the front emblems below the centerline and put those emblems on. I don’t know if this was a Jack Douglass delivered car or not we just assumed it was. I will have to search a little harder for any pictures,slides and the currant owner any let you know what I find.
Merry Christmas to all. George
