found a pic on my computer of a orange Deuce with Hurst wheels date 1972. looks like white painted in wheel relief areas to match white frame and traction bars?

That's the pic I showed Mark, sure looks like Hurst wheels to me. The other pic I have is dated '71, same wheels.

Interesting...looks like the "Bullet" style center caps perhaps. And is that a white '69 style pin on Yenko crest on the fender? That's the first I've seen that on a period pic of a Deuce. I'd like to know more about Hurst and their role in the conversion of the later batch of Deuces. Did the Hurst cars make a stop in Canonsburg, or were they delivered right from GM to Hurst?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

The YENKO crest emblem in that pic is the standard chrome and black like the rest of the deuces, however, it is quite common for the second batch of cars to get their emblems painted completely white - similar to the '69 style, instead of leaving the outer edge chrome like most of the first 125 cars.

From what we have learned, the second order of 50 cars were delivered from Willow Run, MI to the Hurst building in Detroit. After their 'conversions', they were either drop shipped to the appropriate dealer if they were 'on order' by a dealer, or were shipped to Canonsburg. The Hooper deuce was sold out of Yenko, so we know that some of the second order cars came to PA. Other second order cars that were not 'spring' colors were also sold out of Yenko. We looked at the timing of when Hurst would have completed the 'conversions' vs. when Yenko started shipping cars that he had 'converted' and the timing lines up where Yenko would have the room to stash the inventory that was initially shipped to Hurst.

So Marlin, am I correct in assuming that many of the "second batch" Deuces went from the GM plant, to Hurst, to the dealer and never actually spent a single night in Canonsburg or were touched by anyone from Yenko Chevrolet?
