Whippet parts hunter fuels NY car restorer tale
Michael MaffeO, a 26 year old Air Force veteran in Jackson Heights, restores antique cars including a 1927 Whippet and a 1928 Ford. He seeks a rear wheel bearing for the Whippet and a 1929 or 1930 Ford pickup, noting sales of a 1928 Ford and 1928 Chevrolet brought a good return. He commutes to Tavern on the Green as chief of maintenance, aided by a helpful landlady who reupholsters his cars.
