Looking for info - 66 coupe shipped to Ferrell Hicks Chevrolet in Chicago

[Alan C.]

I just received the NCRS shipping report for my 1966 coupe 194376S100718. According to the report, the car has a production date of 9/15/1965 and was shipped to Ferrell Hicks Chevrolet in Chicago. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks. That was helpful.

In fact, I did a GOOGLE search before posting here and while I did find some information, it wasn't tons of information. I did find the link between Ferrell Hicks Chevrolet and the Chicago Corvette Club so emailed one of their officers.

Thanks Rick. I did not see the matchbook cover when I did the search earlier. I looked up the address on GOOGLE Earth and it appears to be an empty lot today. Sad to see history disappear that way.

Thanks again.
