Here's an artist's version of what it would have looked like back in the day...

That's it guys!!!!!!

And "our" Denny Ford worked there from 1971 to 1975!!!!

Yes...I slept with Denny last week!! Well.....you know...I didn't "sleep" with him....I was upstairs and he and Deb were downstairs!!!! So I had Denny take me back for pictures. He took me there in 1988 or 1989 but I didn't have my camera then.

Such a shame that a dealership as important as Yenko Chevrolet would come to this. Denny said it was a Saab dealership for many years. Now it looks empty except for the front showroom and it's a Harley chopper shop now.

Someone needs to buy this and turn it into a museum!!!!

Jim..........Thanks for your picture!! That looks awesome!! Do you know where we can get a copy of that drawing????

now that's a piece of history......... let's start a "save Yenko fund"...... if we advertised it right we could probably raise enough just from donations to buy it and turn it into a destonation !!
