Thanks for all the Egizio info, I grew up down the street from their home and was good friends with Owen they are a nice family. Mr. Egizio at one time had a Corvette for every year and when a new one came out he would put it away, believe they were all upstairs at the dealership. I wonder what happened to all them cars, most had little or no miles on them.
I also have the paper work from my brothers Z28 wonder if it's still around also, it was traded in at a dealership further down Ogden Ave. in Downers Grove don't remember the name off hand.

And don't forget our Showcase at the next April 1 & 2, 2006 Chevy Vettefest at McCormick Place in Chicago. Along with some beautiful Supercars, we will be featuring the cars of Nickey Chevrolet along with a fantastic collection of Nickey memorabilia from the collection of Tom Stephani.

Tom S. will also be breaking out the historic Nickey Vinegaroon USRRC/Can Am Race Car!

Can't wait! For more info or to be a part of this special collection, get a hold of Tom Clarey!

I'd love to bring my Z Frank '67 Corvette to the Vettefest for the Triple Crown in fall of 2006.

I have heard that there is a stash like this somewhere near my home. Apparently a barn/garage/something filled with a new vette from every year. Could be the same person?

does anyone remember going into the Nickey parts dept? They use to have that gold 64 Chevelle 300 427 parked outside the door.

[kwhizz]

That area outside the parts dept was a good place to show off the latast conversions......you had to walk thru the service area to get into the parts dept and on weekends that was a good area to show off what was new......I vaguely remember the 64.....but remember, that was an "Old" car at the time and we were interested in the new stuff...As I remember the 64 had gold rims and blackwalls
Just thinking........Wouldn't it be neat (but stupid from a business perspective) to recreate the Nickey Business as it was and have it as a strictly Vintage Muscle Car Sales and Restoration business......Maybe if I had Charley's money.....LOL
