Re: Jack Douglass Yenko(shor)
Bob,
Yes,they were all to have been striped, but for the one exception which has been found, which was Hugger Orange.
With the Estate Document count at 22 and Jack's count at 25-1=24 there could be a couple more which did not have the stripe kit, based on the info. we have to work with.
I received a welcomed call from Clint regarding his Douglass COPO*Yenko. He can correct me if the info. provided is incorrect regarding his car. I have not seen it.
The picture he told me about is Circa 1971 and the car had just come out of a body shop for repairs. It was hit in the rear quarter pannel area. There are no stripes/badges on the car in the picture.
The car was repainted complete at least once again thereafter. Color change to blue. The only "original paint" is what is left under the blue paint.
This is not a pristine survivor car and since we know that at least some of the panels/fenders had been changed as well as repainted and then color changed it would not be the best example to find any stripes on.
There were Yenkos from Douglass (plural) which soon had the stripes removed (very old post) to maintain a stealth sleeper appearance but we don't know if they were originally invoiced to Canonsberg or Hinsdale.
I too think it would be cool for Clint to find some difinitve info.as to how his car was sold to the public when new.
Good luck with your quest and post some pics of the car if you can. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
