Nickey / Bill Thomas 1967 Autorama

[1967Z28]

Who was it that was racing the other two similar red cars?

What is confusing to me is why was Dick Harrell the builder of these cars when Nickey went out and formed a business relationship with Bill Thomas Race Cars, also a very capable and highly regarded race car builder. Seems like Bill Thomas "should" have built these but didn't. Maybe Dick Harrell didn't understand the business relationship either and that's why he left when he did?

Did the Harrell sponsorship on the fender show up after he left Nickey or do you know if it was on the car while he was still involved with the dealership?

That whole '67 year is super confusing in terms of who was associated with who and at what time as we have also seen with Dana and Yenko having a brief pairing up.
