Default Interesting picture

I thought this was kind of neat, from Hope Yenko.

First, a Yenko advertisment for a rear seat for the 1964 Corvette Stingray, then a family picture of Lynn Yenko, Ed Lowther, Jr and Terri Lee Yenko trying one out for size.

Is that photo deceiving, or is that a split rear window - 63 Vette ?

Looks like, but I think that would be the least of your problems with 3 kids in a Stingray...

The fellow who Yenko contracted to upholster these jump seats is still in Bridgeville, PA and is still doing professional quality upholstery jobs out of his home. Another useful and innovative Yenko design executed with the help of some good local folks. Who said the Corvette had to be a 2 seater?
