How is the restoration of the car coming along?? Did you ever find more information about the original owner?

Leach;

How about bringing the car in to Chicago for Chevy Vettefest November 22-23? We would love to see it whether completed or not.

As Stefano can surely attest, the show brings in plenty of Nickey Enthusiasts and with some luck, more information on your car. I am sure that there will be some people who remember this car if it spent any time at all roaming the streets of Chicago!

This would also put you in direct contact with Don Swiatek, as he will be spending some quality time in the Nickey Chicago display.
