I was in Chicago for the first time in my life about 3 weeks ago and wanted to try one of those Chicago dogs but couldn't find a place on my route that I could get the trailer into...

I meet and spoke with a original NicKey employee, and he told me the story of one of the early owners son was named Nickey and when he wrote his name as a young boy he wrote the k backward one time on a piece of paper and it just stuck. Maybe this is just erban legend...but that's what he told me...

The original Nickey Chevrolet was founded during the roaring 1920s. The dealership was traded to the Stephani family, sometime during the great depression. The first time the Backwards K is used by Nickey is sometime in the late 1950s.
