Default Re: Dick Harrell medallions

Interesting info Ken. I don't have that much on Dick H but I have seen pictures of him in old magazine articles in the Bill Thomas shop, the Nickey Dealership, the Yenko Dealership, and with Fred Gibb (your pictures). Since he was one of the top drag races at that time, I guess it was a good promotional tool to have a picture with him and use his name. Dick's daughter did say (at SuperCar Reunion) that she remembered living in CA for a while and thought that her dad worked for/with Bill Thomas at that time. One article on the 67 Nickey 427 Camaro interviews Dick and calls him the "High Performance Manger" at Nickey. This gives the impression that he was working there at Nickey at least in early 67.
