Nickey backward "K"
 

When does the Nickey backward K start to show up on paperwork or does it. I was at a show this weekend and a local man showed up with a super low mile little old lady 1964 Corvair sold at Nickey in Chicago with all the original paperwork etc. I took pictures of the sales reciept and nowhere was the backward K to be seen. Just curious about that...BKH

I have an ad from 1966 with a Nickey crest on it in black letters with a red backward "K". Not sure what year they began using it.

I have a March, 1964 issue of Sports Car Graphic which contains an article summarizing the Nassau Speedweek. It has a picture of the hanger used as the remanufacturing depot with a Nickey service truck in the foreground and it already has the backward "K". I also have sales receipts from the parts department there as early as 1967 that use it as well.

Maybe the backward "K" was reserved for the hi-po stuff. Just a thought...BKH

Chris how about posting the sales receipt.I would like to see that.I was told no receipts or contracts had the backwards "K" if you have a receipt showing then my information is not correct and I would like the guy that told me this to see it also.So he can see he is not correct

Thanks

I have a picture of a receipt for an engine purchased from Nickey in 1971. The bold face type that says "NICKEY CHEVROLET" does not have the backward K. The backward K was used on the Nickey crest and on the signs. There is a sign on the wall in a 1967 magazine article that says "IMMEDIATE DELIVERY ON NICKEY CAMAROS" and that sign has the backward K.

The 1967 receipt (6 1/2"X 4 1/2") has the backward "K".
There are several dated March,1971 to October,1971 that do not have it. These are 8 1/2" X 5 3/4". This is probably the version Joe has.
There are also 2 from Febuary,1972 where the backward "K" reappears. These are the same size as the ones from 1971.
If I can't figure out how to post these when I get back home next week, I'll send a scan via e-mail.

Attached is the Nickey receipt from 1971 with the K written normally.
Chris, If you have trouble posting the ones you have email them to me and I will try to post them.

Re: Nickey backward "K"
 

Anything on the Nickey receipts with the backward K yet.I am eager to show this guy that (KNOWS EVERYTHING) he is incorrect.When I first started talking about Nickey this guy seemed like he knew everything about the place.I have to say he did know more than I at the time but have found out somethings he stated were not exactly true.I Spoke with MR STEPHANI and he actually cleared some things up for me.

The attachment is a photocopy portion of an actual sales receipt from Nickey Chevrolet showing the backwards K. It was used at different times from as early as 67 from the records I have and as late as 1972 (which is what the sales date on this one is) as per what Chris said above....................RatPack...............
