This 1968 NicKey / Bill Thomas Camaro is not in our registry as a found car.

Notice the Illinois Car Dealer plate. 4501 was the number/address of the NicKey Dealership on Irving Park Road as well as the Illinois Dealer number. To give you an idea how may people were driving on a dealer plate. The first letter runs A-Z so 26 and the second letter would be the same, another 26 if run through the complete alphabet. I have a feeling the "CA" was provided especially to Bill Thomas during their partnership.

I like the radio delete and no antenna.

It does have heater hoses.

Smog sure looks odd with 2x4 setup.

They did leave the backup light stuff.
