1949 Lincoln, 1960 Bonneville, etc. Whitney's in Windham, Maine.



"Do you know jeff whitney of whitney’s automotive in windham?  
BB might have told you already, but clementine’s points went out on the shoot over in south casco.  I called the local napa to get a recommendation on where to take her and they sent me to this guy. 
whitney’s is a fourth-generation family owned repair shop.  he’s got a junkyard that has “Tons of stuff all the way back to model A’s” and he mentioned his “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” ethos when it comes to fixing peoples rigs.
Some notes:
The truck’s rear end is a chevy and it’s all on top of a jeep so it’s 4-wheel all the time.
The mercury shell sits atop a cadillac.  he called it his “sleeper”.  He said it’ll give a modern day audi a run for it’s money off the line.
That crazy looking long thing is pretty much one of a kind. i forget the story with that one but he told me it’s won a bunch of special interest trophies.  
And lastly is a wide-track pontiac which i thought you’d be excited about.  i remember you dedicating a post to them at one point.
If you need anything for the GMC it might be a good place to check out."-JMc
