Bresee Chevy

Hi Kevin:

Chances are very good that the car in the picture belonged to Bresee and was driven by Don Kimball although I don’t think it’s a Yenko. Don worked for Nimo and sold cars for Bresee part time. He eventually became a dealer in SC. The other driver sponsored by Bresee was Skip Townsend. I have no idea where he is these days. Don worked on the cars with BMS which was owned in part by Bill Blanding. I can’t recall who the other 2 guys were. Yenkos were a fairly big draw at the time as muscle cars were very popular (GTO’s, SS 396’s and Hemi’s). I wish I had info on Yenkos as I get the occasional inquiry but I have nothing from that era.
