Default Bill Thomas stuff

Since acquiring the Bill Thomas Nova, I have started collecting BT related items. Just got this catlog in the mail today. Dated 1967 1/2, I am guessing a very early one for both Nickey and Bill Thomas.

The Bill Thomas shop in CA. Notice the signs, Nickey on one side, BT on the other.

The 1967 Nickey/Bill Thomas Camaro.



They would pay your airfare to pick up a Nickey Camaro at either location, Chicago or Anaheim.

The back cover. A Nickey sponsored "rail", and the fabled Bill Thomas Cheetah.

By 1969, Bill Thomas was on his own.

You say you can not get a Chevy engine to fit in your car, even a Mustang, no problem.

When it came to the Chevrolet Big Block engine, seems Bill Thomas "wrote the book" on how to get the most out of your BBC.
