"575 West Pike" by Dave Snyder
18" x 26" image on 22" x 28", Edition size 950, S/N
Little remains of Yenko Chevrolet except the "super cars" Don Yenko produced. Yenko's high performance cars are some of
the most collected cars on the planet. The image everyone conjures up when they hear Yenko Chevrolet is the one
photograph with Don Yenko standing in front of the dealership founded by his father. The muscle car action may have
ceased, but the building still stands and the fervor for Yenko is as powerful as the cars he built.
Artist David Snyder made another pilgrimage to Canonsburg to do urban archeology; sketching and studying the
Yenko site. Today it is a mower/motorcycle shop, but enough remains for Snyder to envision what it must have
looked like in its hayday. That visit, combined with Snyder's conversations and recollections with many former
employees helped bring to life this new painting with historical accuracy. It is the latest in the series of Supercar
dealerships
