Default Barford/Yenko Chevrolet

We've discussed this Barford Chevrolet/Clayton, MO. dealership before as a Yenko Supercar Dealer but I never recalled hearing of this dealer name before. Before my time I guess. But anyway I was at a friend's house today watching some vintage drag racing videos circa '66-'67, and there was footage of a big road course style race at Mid-America Raceway. Everything was there, 67-68 Z/28s, Shelby GT350's, Yenko's '67 coupe, and a mid-year Corvette roadster driven by Dick Durant with Barford Chevrolet sponsership. White with red stripe and a chopped down windshield. There's even a couple of the Grand Sport Corvette's included. So Barford was obviously a performance oriented dealership. With two St. Louis Yenko dealerships (Francis and Barford), I wonder if Barford became Francis by buyout,name change, etc. Clayton, Mo. and Bridgeton, Mo. are only minutes apart. I need to figure out how to post photos from an 8MM movie!
