Jim Rockefeller created the Rockefeller Yankee, a fiberglass bodied production sports car in 1951. The first was sold at the 1953 Auto Show in Madison Square Garden. He had a lifelong passion for science and mechanics. He used his knowledge not only to teach others, but to build and reconstruct several houses in Florida, where he retired.
