Bob’s Deuce

Set on 90 acres this car museum is always a pleasant excursion into the history of 200 cars and their evolution through a 100 year heritage, all housed in numerous restored barns on the property. One such feature is probably the most photographed 1930‘s era recreation of a Shell Gas Station, filled with Shell memorabilia. Enjoy the pics!

My second stop was the Yenko 1960’s muscle car display. Don Yenko was the racing son of a Pennsylvania Chevy dealer and at the time was frustrated with Chevy for not putting more powerful engines in their cars and along with other Chevy dealers like Baldwin, Berger, Dana, Fred Gibb, and Nickey they started modifying production cars with different non-factory offered performance upgrades. Their cars became famous for their power and handling abilities, both on the track and on the street. Seeing this success Chevy opened their famous Central Office Production Order (COPO) ordering system to allow all dealers the opportunity to order high performance equipment and different engine combinations on cars straight from the factory. Enjoy the pics!
