Yenko Camaros (1969) - Two! - Lemont, Il. 1969

[Quick85]

They both had the typical Yenko stripes. I'd forgotten all
about Jack Douglass Chevy. If I'm not mistaken, they were
up on Ogden Avenue in Hinsdale. I can't honestly say, but
I'm supposing that they were purchased there.

The owner of one lived on 171 where 127th Street runs into
it in Lemont. Knowing the owner, he may very well have
turned it into a drag car.

Yes, the Wednesday Lemont cruise night sure draws them out.
I remember going when it first started up and thinking "Where did all these cars come from?". Were they really hidden in garages? Lemont had more than its share of
muscle. One Nickey 427 Camaro SS, three Brigance 396 Novas
and a couple of Brigance '69 396 Chevelles, plus a wide assortment of everything else including that maroon dual
quad '68 hemi Charger out by the refineries. In the funny car photo section here I posted a couple of photos of my
buddy's '65 awb Coronet, so yeah, there was some muscle in
Lemont.

When I mentioned the accident in my initial post, it was a
case of one rear-ending the other at a stop sign at the
Dog 'n Suds. You had to be there to appreciate how ridiculous the accident was. Anyway, thanks for the replies.
