They had a dealership in So-Cal years ago; Cadallac i believe. |

Re: Yeakel Bros?
The Lynn Yakel '32 5W is not an AA/FD, and that's what the poster was talking about...

Re: Yeakel Bros?
FBB-- I was just getting ready to make a post asking what color Mr. Yakel's car was. That's the first color photo I've seen of it, and all the text I have saved on it says nothing about the color. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Yeakel Bros?
I wonder if there is a Yeakel connection to one Fred Yeakel who owns the old Allan Green Chevrolet Cheetah ? The name is not that comman and I recall Fred Yeakel raced corvettes in southern california so there may be a connection there.

Re: Yeakel Bros?
Cool, Slide...there's been a lot of talk about that car recently, everyone was hoping to find it for the 75 exhibit at the GNRS, but no luck. Check out the next TRJ, there's a colorized two-page photo of it on pages 96-97...

Re: Yeakel Bros?
There was a Yeakel Bros Cadillac agency in the SFValley -- I think on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City or thereabouts. In the early '50s they sponsored a light blue fenderless '29 drag roadster with Von Dutch striping -- it's the one with the famous upside-down painting on the grille insert, I believe. Pretty sure it was Cadillac powered.

I know they had caddilac, and in '59 they brought in the NSU Prinz and advertized like crazy. I bought one for $1395. fun little car and got better gas mileage than my 59 triumph bonneville

Re: Yeakel Bros?
They also ran Super Stocks, I remember a Hemi Belvedere and they had a friendly rivalry with another dealer in the area, Sachs and Son's Lincoln Mercury who ran a Comet with a 427 and later a cammer. The Comet was driven by some young guy who was none other than Don Nicholson. Man, those cars were the best to watch.Great memories
