Marlin,
You are trying to put words in Jacks mouth. He Choose not to sell the Deuce for his own reasons right or wrong.

Since he has no desire to participate in this discussion you are getting the hear say from me.

It is just that which you mention about Chicago having been such a large market (and it was) Jack Douglass sold quite a few Yenkos. He was one of the highest volume dealers other than Yenko Chevrolet when you include his total sales of both his direct order and the Cannonsberg cars. If he and Don were at odds why wouldn't Don have acted by stopping Jack from selling the cars as Yenkos or setting up other dealers within the state prior to 1970. Jack received his first shippment of Yenkos probably early February.

No Jack did not learn of the COPO orders from Dale Berger. It has been clearly stated that he found a shipping invoice from GM, it is labled "Car Shipper".

If you follow the sequence of events, which state that he found a "Car Shipper" in two out of the first truck load, which showed the Central Office Production Order Numbers which allowed Jack to place his direct order.

Jack had Cannosberg Yenkos on his property long before Berger ever received any of there L72 Iron Block cars.
