Default 1969 Picture has popped up online, real or no?

this 1969 Yenko Dealership picture has popped up online

does not look real to me

when compared to the 1968 photo, the Yenko letters and tower don't look right and the cars look off too

----Joe,,,Look closer and you will see that the building is the same. It's just that the pics are taken from way different angles...….Bill S

The vertical "C" in Chevrolet is at the base of the "yenko" in the second pic but is much higher in the first pic. Different sides of the "yenko" tower but the positioning from the top is the same. Or it's just my eyes???

I see what you mean, but my eyes aren’t as reliable as they used to be. Would someone actually photoshop the building itself?

And if you take the "C-H-E" in the second pic, they would fit above "Chevrolet". In the first pic, they couldn't. So, that tells me the "Chevrolet" is moved upward in the second pic.

Hey, too much time on my hands right now.

The photos show two different sides of the sign. Hand painted variations? Maybe the explanation.

I love the vertical "CHEVORLET" as noted above


Nobody said the photoshopper was a good speller!
