Notice That Ronnie Kaplan Engineering (RKE) built the engine for this Gasser. Ronnie is the Bill Thomas/Smokey Yunick of the Midwest.

Nickey hired him in 1958 to be the Crew Chief of the dealership's road race cars.

You can also make out the Nickey Chicago/Bill Thomas Display in the back ground. Nickey was very active promoting their Conversion cars from 1966 until 1977.

If you look close you can see a 1968 Nickey Camaro in the back ground.
