White Rolls Royce at Bayfront

FishinFool · 02-12-2010, 08:59 AM

Seems like that white Rolls Royce on the corner of Bayfront and Chase has been there for ever. When the parking lot was resurfaced, they went around it. Ivan didn't mess with it much. Now someone had t-boned it and still it sits there.

What's the story behind? Anyone know?

I remember growing up and always wondering what the deal was. How long ago did it get T Boned, I havent been by there is a pretty good while or at least havent paid much mind to it.

I have always thought it would make a cool shooting house.....

Don't know the story behind it, but I was once told it belonged to Xanadu.......

Wouldn't it be cool to cut the cab off with a Chainsawit and ride around downtown on it.

It was owned by John Lennon.

It has a good tale behind it but it could all be urban legend. Here is what I heard as a kid, the Rolls was John Lennon's at some point and guy who used to own it disappeared, his name was Wiley Yotes or something like that. He was one of the original developers of Church Street Station in Orlando and Seville Quarter in the Cola. Just vanished like D.B. Cooper or something. Like I said, its just what I heard growing up. Maybe someone has heard the same.

Wally Youst is probably who you are thinking of. He was Sandy Sansings partner years ago. They sold a computer co. and Sandy went in the car business, obviously. Wally bought up a bunch of crap, Westwood Mall, built Backstage, and a bunch of other stuff. I think he ran off to Las Vegas years ago. I wanna say they extradited him back here to face charges. That was a long time ago and I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I do remember he was a real piece of work, and I almost knocked him out in his own club one nite for hitting on my girl! Wow, that was a blast from the past!
