Fred was factory back by buying 50 each of the Nova's & ZL-1 Camaros. As I have stated before I think I would have became a Ford dealer back then.

As did Don Yenko, and a few others, Fred certainly had a vision, and a belief that the future was in selling hi performance muscle cars. For a small town dealer to place an order for 50 all most identical cars, not once, but twice, IMO, would take a huge leap of faith. I would imagine he and Helen had a few heart to heart discussions about this.

Here's to Fred and Helen.
