I know many of us fondly remember Doug Olsen, and his passion for SuperCars - especially the '69 COPO Camaros. Well, before his untimely passing, Doug was able to visit with renowned photographer Charles Gilchrist in Cleveland, OH and go through his collection of drag racing slides. Doug was able to find several slides of Yenko, Harrell, Grumpy, and Big John cars.
Due to a mixup on my part I never got hooked up with Doug after he had purchased two Yenko Deuce prints on my behalf. So, I have been after Gilchrist for over two years to produce the Yenko Deuce prints for me, and I would buy whatever batch qty was required. It has been some time since my last correspondence with Gilchrist, but surprisingly, I found one of the Deuce prints was available on his website this past weekend!!! Of course, I will be purchasing a few.
I know he has more SuperCar prints in his collection. Might I suggest that we ask him to add a category to his site just for the SuperCars, if we as a club have an interest in purchasing them? I have seen them firsthand, and the quality is excellent, and there is a discount for multiple print purchases (I'm working on clearing up the math issue that MikeA discovered).
I realize that it is hard to get enthusiastic regarding some prints that most have never seen, but they are really cool action shots. Just check out his website to see the various nostalgic prints, and maybe we can get him to redo all the SuperCar prints that he has. (?)
