''Yoo Hoo Too'





Featured a 265/225 HP 'Dual Quad' in the 1956 Sedan Delivery. Since this vehicle was
listed as a 'Truck', the NHRA permitted the use of the 4-Speed Hydra-Matic Transmission,
which made these Chevy Delivery 'Stockers' near unbeatable.

Engine prepared by; Tommy Kling {Truppi-Kling}
Transmission by; Vitar {Vinnie Tarantola}

Wayne Jesel and 'partner' Tony Massari campaigned the 'Yoo Hoo Too''.

Tony was not as involved with the car in 1968, and Wayne was the 'primary'
owner.

The deal with 'Yoo Hoo' was very simple >

Yoo-Hoo Chocolate Beverage Corp. {Carlstadt, New Jersey} gave them
{ $2500 } as a sponsorship fee. > Today's dollar value { $18,000 }.

How did they get a 'sponsorship deal'. Very simple. Tony Massari's father was
on the Board of Director's of 'Yoo Hoo''.

The cost to put the 1956 Sedan Delivery together ..... $2200.

Now that is a 'Junior Stocker'.
