Original unused piece of "Donna Mae Stationary"... part of a package of promotional items during her sponsorship with Ring-Free motor oil.

Another Yenko dealership memo from Donna, in regards to their Corvette advertising in the local newspaper...apparently another local used car dealer was selling new Corvettes and attempting to undercut Yenko, the largest Corvette dealer in the Pittsburgh area at the time. Donna Mae was on it!

Last one for now... I posted a similar outtake photo earlier, this was the Yenko Stinger Vega giveway car, with Donna Mae clowing for the camera and handing over the keys to the lucky winning couple. It was a promotion by Group 7 Filters in 1971. The ad's ran in several of the big car magazines of the day.

RIP Donna Mae... You'll be missed! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

God Bless... RIP...

Wow, being laid out in her vehicle.. Thats unique and different.. After watching the local news broadcast of the wake, my Wife said "don't get any ideas from this" I assume when I go she won't be putting me in one of our musclecars in the funeral parlor... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Here's a neat photo of Donna Mae (left) with Zora Arkus Duntov and his wife. That's Frank Yenko (Don's dad) on the far right. Not sure who the other guy is... anyone recognize him?

Could it be Bob McDorman from Columbus Ohio?

Re: + Donna Mae Mims on NPR +
 

Dunno...could be I guess. I have a whole series of snapshots from whatever event this was... Zora was obviously the featured guest and did a speech... I guess it could have been some sort of dealer's convention or something.

These were pics i had taken to show Donna Mae the weekend before SCR to learn more about them... makes me sad to know I'll now never get another chance to. I'm SURE she would have remembered every detail of it.

Yenko Chevrolet , Canonsburg, Pa. - PICTURES
 

On a recent visit to Pittsburgh I stoped by the Yenko Chevrolet Dealership 575 W. Pike St., Canonsburg, Pa. Took some photos of the building inside and outside !! It was on November 21, 2011. Very interesting indeed, this "famous" place that created all the YENKO Stinger Corvairs, Camaros/Novas/Chevelles.
