Dodo Brockman & the 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster



I met George "Dodo" Brockman at the NAPA store in Freeport, Maine. He's a car guy and a speedboat guy. Turns out he went to high school with my mother-in-law. This handsome bomb is his daily driver 12 months of the year which, in Maine, means toughing out  6 months of road salt.  Dodo's built some brilliant machines; I plan to visit his shop soon. Right now he's doing a one-off Chris-Craft lake cruiser speedboat powered by Infiniti, Nissan's luxury car marque.
