Yenko Chevrolet records question

[Austin]

In the spring of 1954 I went to Chevrolet's "Post Graduate School of Modern Merchandising" in Detroit and met Don Yenko,also attending the school.It was also in slang called "The Dealer's Son School",which, in fact, it really was.He had two tickets for the Indy 500 and we decided to fly there for the race in his Piper PA 14.I suggested we stop by the sports car race at Atterbury AF Base on the way.He agreed it was more interesting than Indy.He attended a couple of races I was in that year,and he was hooked.The rest is history.My dealership,The W.R.Austin Chevrolet Co. in Norwalk,Ct sold a few of his various conversions,along with some of John Fitch's Corvair conversions.
I do not intend to mock the Chevrolet "Post Graduate School of Modern Merchandising". It was the best six weeks of learning I ever spent.
