Default Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets

Well, sorta. The Importer initially ordered 6. George made 1 proto for the importer to approve the styling and scheme. Upon approval, George made the other 5 [keeping the proto for anticipated/immediate future orders]. On a hand-shake, George then made/shipped the 5 production jackets. Yep, you guessed it...the $$$ never showed up. It turned out okay for George though, because soon after some other Importer saw one of the "Yenko" jackets and really liked the "jackets for car nuts idea". He ended up buying a couple thousand red-white-blue "Corvette" jackets. I got one of those Corvette jackets years ago [1991] when I bought one of the first Corvette ZR1's.
