Great Rivalries: David E. Davis, Jr. vs Brock Yates
David E. Davis, Jr. vs Brock Yates - Great Rivalries - Automobile Magazine
David E. Davis, Jr., and Brock Yates are the grand pooh-bahs of automotive journalism.

David E. Davis, Jr., and Brock Yates are the grand pooh-bahs of automotive journalism. For five decades, beginning in the early 1960s, words penned by these erudite, opinionated high priests shaped the way several generations of readers worshipped cars. The two men collaborated at Car and Driver for more than a decade and both served as that august publication's editor-in-chief - Yates for one year, Davis for two stints totaling twelve years. While Davis focused his journalistic energy on magazines, Yates's portfolio includes a dozen books, two screenplays, and expert live commentary for CBS, TNN, and the Speed network.
