In following the journey and his devotion to Chevrolet, both on the track & working with some active dealerships, many names appear that can be associated with “Mr. Chevrolet.”

The clipping in this thread largely involves a time, information, and names that can be associated while in St. Louis.

'Yenko Super Camaro Dealers' and Dick Harrell received a lot of exposure in 1967 when DH did a one wheel - wheel stand and it was all over the magazines and news papers including on covers.

It was also in "Drag Racing Photo Greats" as one of the top photos, back in the day
