Rob,

In the second ad "Best Bargains of The Year!", I can just make out the front end of a '69 Chevelle parked behind the glass on the showroom floor. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? What are the odds? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

By golly, I think you're right! I even think it's a fathom green Chevelle [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] !

Ok super sleuth (Tim), any chance of finding out who Grossman contracted their advertising out to. Maybe the original advertiser is still in business and has the original photos as well as non published photos still on file. I doubt it but stranger things have come true.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/ooo.gif[/img] Now there's a wonderful idea I haven't thought of before! If they do still exist, what are the chances of them maybe having other original photo's on hand that were or weren't used in advertisements. I would have to believe that there are probably other photo's that may exist of the Yenko cars as they arrived at the dealership. Grossman knew that people would come from all over just to see one of these cars and they used it to their advantage to attract potential new customers to their doorstep. I'll definitely have to look into this further! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Tim;
Didn't Jay Kline Chev. become Grossman Chev. in early '69?
