Default Re: My SCR7 two cents

The YENKO crest emblem in that pic is the standard chrome and black like the rest of the deuces, however, it is quite common for the second batch of cars to get their emblems painted completely white - similar to the '69 style, instead of leaving the outer edge chrome like most of the first 125 cars.

From what we have learned, the second order of 50 cars were delivered from Willow Run, MI to the Hurst building in Detroit. After their 'conversions', they were either drop shipped to the appropriate dealer if they were 'on order' by a dealer, or were shipped to Canonsburg. The Hooper deuce was sold out of Yenko, so we know that some of the second order cars came to PA. Other second order cars that were not 'spring' colors were also sold out of Yenko. We looked at the timing of when Hurst would have completed the 'conversions' vs. when Yenko started shipping cars that he had 'converted' and the timing lines up where Yenko would have the room to stash the inventory that was initially shipped to Hurst.
