Default Re: The last Nickey goes to auction again...

Two things: first, Jenny Swiatek WAS invited to the unveiling and offered tickets for her & family. What happened there is no mystery, she simply forgot about it. She did come with some family members to the Mecum auction last Fall, and we had a nice talk.

Second, the front end was restored with all of the front end parts as they were when the car was parked in about 1980. Remember it was an early car, and there was no apparent signs that it had been hit anywhere. I have seen other '74s with the same emblem placement, so this is not the only one.

hmm... always wondered about that front grill and emblem. It's the prior version emblem but later ('75-7) grill. I could easily see an owner changing it later for a different look as it's a very easy swap. -swap top grill, mark & poke two holes in header for '71-'73 header emblem.

'74 grills (one yr only) were/are very tough to find. Very common to see without.
