Chicago area dealer cars

[nova67]

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

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

Or Stefano's clout and money........

[Mr70]

Stefano's clout alone would be enough to make that a reality.

Ken,

It is the "stupid" ones who make all the others look really smart

I have spoken to many people who were at Nickey or a part of Nickey Legacy,from back in the day who plan to spend time at the SYC display sharing info and stories with any and all members and enthusiasts.


Stay tuned for more details.

My point being..........Like the painting being sold with all the Muscle Cars in front of the Nickey Dealership.......If I or you had unlimited funds to rebuild what was once there and turn it into the "Ultimate" Muscle car Sales and High End Restoration business would be the "Ultimate" on the Cool scale.........But, my point was that the cost of getting to that point could probably not be supported fiscally by the profits that would be available.......The idea isn't stupid, but the Business Plan would have to make sense to a Banker (that's the hard part)
