Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
Mr 70, No offense taken, Brian as for why none of the cars has original emblems there is a simple explanation. In about 1986 I actually seen the car that Shor owns right now for sale on route 12 in Spring Grove. I stopped looked at it because it had Yenko stripes and Yenko emblems. The one thing that struck me funny was it had endura bumper and chambered exhaust. I took down the vin # and called Vince Emmy about it. He response was it was one of those Berger cars. I believe all double copos that werent on the Yenko list were considered berger cars. That is why when I bought my white JD Yenko it had D90 stripes and holes in the tail panel for a berger emblem, I believe put there by Bob Trez because he was probably told the same. This Jd story has only come out in the last few years. When the NICB report came back on mine it came back as a JD car. So I believe everone with theese original JD Yenkos were told they were Berger double COPOS and have been restored that way. Only one guy had left it close to the way it was found, the other dover white JD yenko. It is also odd that if there is a story of a Copo being a Yenko it usually turns out to be a JD yenko. I think this horse is dead so I leave it at that. Mr 70 no hard feelings, Tom I hope no hard feelings. So Tom if I send a picture of my car for a feature it will include Yenko some where in the heading.
