MEBANE, N.C. In 2006 two brothers got together and took their love of history, nostalgia, and antiques and created a unique store.
Donald and Tony Whitfield have over 20 years of experience in the antique market. As young boys working for a local auction house, they saw thousands of items sold every week. Now, as adults, they have taken to the road in search of lost treasures and preserving history, one piece at a time. They bring their knowledge and passage to their hometown Mebane, NC, in hopes of growing their business with a storefront for the public to explore and shop through all their finds.
Styling for the 1958 Pontiac represented a one-year-only model based on the Chevrolet Impala but with much fancier dashboards and interiors. There were only 759 Pontiac Parisienne convertibles built by General Motors of Canada and very few still exist. Top line U.S. Pontiacs were Bonneville models and had larger bodies than the Chevrolet-based Canadian products.
“Aunt Lil would drive the convertible to her job at BC Tel in downtown Vancouver with people following her and always trying to buy the car,” Susie’s husband Pat recalled. “It was always garaged and kept covered. Jim and Lil loved that car.”
Family photos show Jim in the car with the top down and with his beloved big white dog. A special car for special drives and occasions.
