No I do not....BUT...I am a "car guy" and lived not too far away from this place...I am too young to remember the Nickey Dealership (born in 71), but I do remember Keystone Chevrolet when Nickey folded.

Cool. I am also too young to have been at Nickey and am also a car guy. Here is a thread on a different site I participate on where I show some of my Nickey and Keystone memorabilia. I have a nice collection (I have too many collections!:D) of Chicago area dealership memorabilia.
You guys make me yearn for the 60's. I remember watching gassers racing on Illinois St.or was it Fulton (at Racine, I believe). Saturday nights at Skip's. And what about drooling at Mr. Norms? Owning a rare'66 Ram Air GTO, I was hot you-know-what until one of my buddies returned from Grand-Spaulding with his new 440 Dart. Before being drafted in '69 I raced at all the local tracks (Oswego, Lake Geneva, Union Grove, U.S. 30). Speed shops on every corner. Damn, that was a great time to be a car guy. Probably the best.
Did either of you see the drag racing pics I posted in the "International Amphitheater" thread?
