Brian,
Jack Douglass has never taken any credit and fully stated that the sYc concept belonged to Don Yenko. Jack also never had the intent to sell them as anything other than Yenkos.

What Don Did, with GMs support however, did boarder on infringing GM's Parts,Sales and Service Agremeement with their other dealers. That is why a dealer who discovered the program was allowed to order direct.

If he had not made the agreement, which included more than the stripes and badges,then he would not have sold them to the public as Yenkos and we would not be having this discussion.

As a restorer, I would have thought that you could appreciate and understand why someone would put a Super Car back to the way it was when delivered to the Customer.

No, I have not put the stripes, which were on my car when it was sold to the public ,as they had been removed. My Douglass Yenko was repainted without stripes and badges because Vince Emee had thought it was a Berger COPO and hence a D90 stripe was added, the Yenko Emblem holes were filled and a Berger Emblem was screwed to the tail panel.

If my car had not been sold with the Stripes, it would still be a Yenko and If I were to restore it under that circumstance,I would do so without the stripes.

I installed Stripes on Shor's Douglass Yenko because my research indicated that that was how the Camaro was sold to the public. I did prefer how it looked without them, however.

Marlin,
There was no paperwork/formal sales agreement between Douglass and Yenko and it has not been found to be the common practice. Acually the situation you mention happens to be unique,to the best of my knowledge.

Authorizing someone to do something encompasses alowing that entity to continue to do so. Jack called his order in either late January early February. Do you think that if he and Don were at odds there would not have been at least one single other Yenko Dealer in Chicago or the state of Illinois during this time frame?

JoeC,
I was not quoting you but paraphrasing and yes that is how I read your statements. I do repect your opinion and those of the membership however warped they may be [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] "Just Kidding"
