Thanks. Glad to be back.
So many memories at Wallace, Frankie Johansen in sales, Doug Pitchell doing performance tunes, Yenkos, COPOs, L78 Novas, etc. |

Well on the Yenko Deuces first one I saw at work one morning was I think a red one. Parked behind the body shop next to the wrecked cars! So, Wallace Bronfman, the owner, did not like the performance stuff. Had two young sons who worked there. Elliott who was the business minded one. Carl was the goofy one, just wanted to drive fast Chevys. Carl ordered the Deuces, told the delivery truck driver to stick them back in the junk lot so his father would hopefully not notice them. Father always telling Carl "nobody's gonna buy a $5,000 Camaro or Chevy Nova!" Funny stuff. That's kinda how the performance stuff worked until Frankie Johansen talked Wallace into sponsoring the drag Camaro. Later Wallace went along to a certain degree, just wanted to sell regular family cars. Doug |
