Default Another side of Don Yenko

My parents are moving to a new smaller house and we have been moving and cleaning out the garage. I found a few items that I had at Dads that I have not seen in a while. The Airplane artwork was done by Larry Shinoda. Another legend in the hobby...I hope you enjoy this seldom seen look..BKH

That's cool Brian! Thanks for sharing. Isn't Shinoda one of the people responsible for the Firebird?

Love this stuff ! These are awesome pieces. I love reading some of the interviews with the late Shinoda...Esp stuff after arriving at Ford after he left GM..I think he said the Ford guys were a bit thick headed...

Cool stuff. Don't know that much about Don Yenko but he was the typical successful businessman: type A with a lot a varied interests and abilities. When most people are sleeping or watching TV, these guys are/were out DOING.
