Indy 500 jacket
 
Has anyone heard of a Jacket that Don Yenko gave those employees who accompanied him to Indy. I have one that I got from a former employee that has the cloth patches with the Indy 500 logo as well as a cloth patch with the Yenko symbol. Joe Maggio

Nope, but post some pics. Wanna sell it?

JoeM 01-25-2019 09:06 PM

As soon as I figure how to transfer pics to Windows 10 I will. Not for sale goes well with all titles to this car.

Is it Red,White,or Blue or Yellow? ...and does it have racing stripes too?
Was it possibly made by Horizon,Anton,Bonner,Swingster,Crown or Screen Stars?

Indy 500 Jacket
 
The jacket is very similar to the posted pic. It is blue has red white and blue stripe and the aforementioned patches sewn 0n the stripe. It was made by Bonner from Bonner Springs Kansas. I have emailed the Manufacturer and have yet to hear from them. I will work diligently to get pics for you.

not sure if this is related to your jacket but Don Yenko had a friend who he raced Corvettes with in the late 1960s

He went on to race at Indy in the 1970s to early 1980's

His name is John Mahler

1983 Indy 500 he ran a Lion/Stock Block Chevy but failed to qualify

I have a picture of Don with the car

the Indy car was white no. 92

you can google him for more info
