Re: Yenko Chevelle on T.V.
The Yenko Chevelle rear emblems that I have seen in original pictures are spaced about 5 in from center line of car to centerline of emblem. The COPO Chevelle came from the factory with the black SS rear panel but no SS emblem therefore no preexisting holes like on the 69 Camaros. So the Yenko and 427 emblem could have been mounted with some variance left to right. The funny thing about the Yenko Chevelles is some came with the 68 style Yenko 427 emblem and some have the 69 style. There seems to be no pattern because there were early and late Yenko Chevelles with the 68 style. The 68 and 69 427 embles do not interchange so if the car has it's original back panel you can tell which emblem was there originally. I missed the TV show but will look for a rerun.

Re: Yenko Chevelle on T.V.
Where did you find the 'COLONIAL' emblem?? Did the current Colonial have them?

Re: Yenko Chevelle on T.V.
The plate and the emblem came with the car. In fact it came with two plates and two emblems. I asked the same question and I was assured that they were originals and not a current item. I haven't seen any others before or since.

Re: Yenko Chevelle on T.V.
I don't recall a plate from the TV show - I probably missed it when Benjamin was spittin up on my sYc Reunion shirt!!! I assume you mean a COLONIAL license plate??
Cool Emblem, can it be reproduced for the other Colonial car owners? M

Re: Yenko Chevelle on T.V.
Nice car Chuck. A good friend of mine bought a 74 Z/28 new from Colonial. He said it has the same logo on the rear and he has it somewere. I did not see the plate. I will ask if he had one on his. Was the Colonial emblem pin or taped on?...BKH

Re: Yenko Chevelle on T.V.
My '68 Chevelle had the original COLONIAL emblem taped on. It now resides on my toolbox. Having spent some time in Norfolk, VA. serving in the Navy, I believe that the COLONIAL emblems are probably more common than you think. If they were using the same emblem from '68 thru at least '74, that leaves an awful lot of cars that left that dealership with that emblem. Perhaps a scrounge of some local salvage yards around Norfolk would turn up a nice example.
