Interesting story on my old Douglass yenko. The car was ordered by and delivered to Jack Douglass in hinsdale IL, it seems it wasnt selling but dealer traded to a Chevy dealer in Fort Collins Co.
The original owner bought it in June of 70 with only 8 miles on it he kept it a few years. The next 40 years the car went from Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin and back to Illinois 20 minutes from Jack Douglass where it was Sold. I sold the car to Wayne who lives within 20 miles of the original selling dealer. The original owner had the POP and all dealer paperwork on the car which has been reunited with the car.

The original owner had put the paperwork up for sale on Craigslist! Yenko original paperwork for $ 100! I thought it was a scam but had to check it out. He was about to sell the paperwork at a local swap meet! He sent me photos of the original protect-o-plate and I knew it was John's old Douglas car! A great story and some really nice vintage photos.
