Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement

[sYc]

Clint, You have spent the time and money to document how the car was equipped when new. Why go against what you know? Put the car back the way is was originally, emblems, no stripes. Any thing different only cheapens the car IMO.

By looking at information I have, which says emblems and trim (no mention of stripes) and what I have seen and heard, it is not certain that JD installed Yenko stripes on COPO cars. As Rob mentioned, JD varied from the way Yenko did it, which would have caused some problems.

Now, and this is not to step on any toes, I am curiuos about something. From what I have been told and read, Jack Douglass was a major player during the musclecar era. He sold some very neat cars, which to me have their own legacy. I can not understand for the life of me why owners of Douglass cars insist on adding/moving emblems, adding non-original stripes etc. It is as though they are ashamed of the Douglass name. Why? Why not let the Yenko name be a side bar to the history of Jack Douglass Chevrolet and his cars and concentrate on promoting the legacy he developed. If I were an owner of a Douglass car, instead of trying to align with Yenko, I would put my efforts into making the Douglass name as well known and appreciated as the other supercar dealers. Much the way that owners of Yenko, Gibb, Harrell, cars etc are doing.
