Thank you Nicholas, Linda, Val and David for the information about the building of our replica. We would be very interested in seeing photos and video of the construction. Very sorry to hear that Robert and Dale Whitmore had passed away.

My father Robert Whitmore built this replica of the Benz. I do have some photos of the production faze. I have a short video of the first time it was turned over. My husband is the one who helped with the engine. My brother-in-law did the paint and a couple other family guys did some of the welding and such. I’m very happy to know it is in a museum to be appriciated by other car lovers.
I will try to get my photos together and will forward them to the museum when I can. Thanks so much for your interest.

my grandfather robert whitmore of kennedy, ny built the benz by looking at a model and a picture he had…everything was done by sight and never had any blueprints or made any while building…i am sad to say he has passed away. in his lifetime he made three vehicles this benz was his last, he enlisted the help of my uncle for engine work and my father for the paint work. thanks you for displaying this his crown achievement.
