Ronnie is the Bill Thomas/Smokey Yunick of the Midwest. Nickey hired him in 1958 to be the Crew Chief of the dealership's road race cars. You can also make out the Nickey Chicago/Bill Thomas Display in the back ground. Nickey was very active promoting their Conversion cars from 1966 until 1977. -------------------- Post Extras:       Stefano Reged: 10/06/01 Posts: 4562 Loc: Land of Lincoln Re: Vintage Nickey Show Pics [Re: Stefano]       #367612 - 11/09/08 08:58 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   [image][/image] Here is a cool pic. CT Engineering á.k.a Chick Thatcher. He also sponsored 'Psycho Too' the 1963 Nickey Sold Nova/ Vintage Gasser. If you look close you can see a 1968 Nickey Camaro in the back ground. -------------------- Post Extras:       Xplantdad Reged: 09/01/04 Posts: 18359 Loc: Really missing Kwhizz! :( Re: Vintage Nickey Show Pics [Re: Stefano]       #367619 - 11/09/08 09:07 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Those are just way too cool! -------------------- Bruce Choose Life-Donate!

I have that one too. A friend gave it to me. Who has the original?
