Joe and Marlin, Of course the NICB comes back as Douglass Chevrolet. These cars were ordered from Douglass, invoiced to Douglass and sold new from Douglass. These cars never made a trip to Cannonsburg. This is not in question.
The Baldwin Motion argument isn't similar. The name "Baldwin Motion" is descriptive of the dealer and the tuner...Baldwin Chevrolet and Joel Rosen. By the way...the most famous Baldwin Motion Corvette in existence was invoiced and sold new to a Chevrolet dealer in Ashtobula Ohio, then the car was sent to Long Island New York(Joel Rosen) for the conversion process. Two fellow board members can elaborate more than I on this one(mark ?) Even though I don't believe this is the same situation...... is that car not a Baldwin Motion? If the owner drove the car before sending it to Joel is he disqualified? What if the dealer in ohio sent it first before selling the car to the customer...does it then Qualify? The Douglass debate is not merely about a sticker kit. That is not what happened in 1969. Was the young man that drove his 1969 Jack Douglass Yenko Camaro with the stripes, emblems, headrests and Yenko invoice in the glovebox off of the dealer lot in June of 69 driving a lesser car than the same man that picked his up in Pennsylvania? If my car still had it's original paint and original stripes and original Yenko invoice as delivered new in 1969 would I be incorrect to not display it and present it as such? Are we trying to rewrite history here? Are we now applying rules that must be met to describe a car as a Yenko? Who is in charge of the "new" rules? My car is a Douglass Yenko. As an aside I have a question for Brian Henderson. I know how Brian feels about this whole Douglass thing and we differ a little on our opinions but my car is now in his shop awaiting reasemmbly. Brian , to restore my car "correctly" do you put the stripes, headrests, and Yenko emblems back on ? |
