I think the field where Yenko stored some of his stock, which was near the dealership, but not directly adjacent to it, was declared a superfund site.

There are a couple of famous photos of COPOs stored there, prior to conversion to YSC.

Man, I do too. I think the building deserves to be saved and brought back to glory as much as any of the cars do.

If it was up to me it would be on the National Historic Register. Right up there with Mt. Rushmore and Monticello.
