Re: Nickey's sales records
Danno,
Many years ago I had a friend who was a cop who worked a lot on auto theft cases. In fact, he used to go to all the Meccum auctions and find cars with "funny looking" VIN tags, run the numbers, confiscate stolen cars and actually re-unite them with their original owners who lost them years ago. He was familiar with the archives at the national burreau you mentioned. In fact, he looked up the VIN from my '62 and gave me the original selling dealer's name. He said the records are about 100% complete back through '63, "most" of '62, then really peter out in '61.
He's not around anymore, unfortunately. So anyway, my suggestion is to make a cop your friend, and you might get the info you want.
