7/25/1963 Ferrell Hicks Chicago Delivery Research

[Kent P.]

Hey Fellas,
New to NCRS, and just got my shipping data report. Shows the title data, and curious if there is any information left regarding this dealer. I see the Chicago Corvette Club started with a Ferrell Hicks guy, in 1958. Very cool.
I've owned the car since 1976, and was always curious about it's origin. I lived and acquired the car in a suburb of Chicago called Milwaukee Always thought is was a Wisconsin car, mostly because of the rust.
Working with the google, but any additional information would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your kind attention.
Kent

Hello Rick,
Thanks for your help in research. Neat stuff! Must have been a pretty good size dealer at one time.
I've also contacted the Chicago Corvette Club, who's founding member was a salesman at Ferrell Hicks. The club was started in 1958, making it one of the oldest Corvette clubs in America. Their meetings were held at Ferrell Hicks.
All the Best,
Kent
