Nickey backward K Sebring 1962

[JoeC]

The magazine is TODAYS MOTOR SPORTS June 1962 and the Nickey Nouse wore the number "6." There are many simalarities between Yenko and Nickey. Both did a lot of road racing starting in the late 50s. It appears they both got into sponsoring drag racing for advertising of the 427 1967 Camaro transplant cars and hi po parts. They both seemed to have good connections with Chevy and they both had owned/raced a SR2 experimental Corvette of which only 3 were made and one was a show car. Both also had high performance parts businesses with mail order catalogs.

There is even more of a link between them as well as many of the other Super Car Dealers.

The link was Dick Harrell. Any one of you oldtimers want to chime in?

Stefano,

You are correct regarding Dick Harrell, he was behind several well known dealers. Here is a pic of Dick Harrell with Fred Gibb and Herb Fox. Seems Dick liked the Camaro quite a bit. Taken at Beardstown Dragstrip September 1967.

I have been told that the backward "K" was not on any dealer paperwork just an advertising Logo thing that they did,you will see it in adds,on race cars,signs but no dealer paperwork,contracts,sales receipts etc.But I was told this and have no reason to doubt this person.
