Re: Don Yenko on Video
That 'Vette looks like it could be in the Gulf Tower for sure, but it looks like the main lobby area on the ground floor to me. Not sure if a crane would be used to get it in there, but I'm sure it didn't fit through the revolving doors! There is a truck entrance on the side of the building that's used for deliveries, it may have come in that way, but I have no idea how they'd have got it into the lobby from there. No simple task you can bet, but with Gulf's $$$ anything was possible. As for the University of Pittsburgh having a wind tunnel in the 60's, I can't say for sure, but I'll do my best to look into it. Shouldn't be too hard to find out as I'd bet some of my old professors were teaching there back in the 60's. Pitt has always been well known for it's Engineering program, and the city of Pittsburgh for it's bridges and tunnels, so perhaps they had a wind tunnel to test bridge designs etc. Just speculation, but it's totally possible. Great photos by the way, where do you keep coming up with this stuff? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
