Back in 1977, we heard through the grapevine about an old wing car stock car. It was in Appleton WI, about 100 miles away. So on a winter day, off we went.

Well, we were a little disappointed, as it was a Road Runner short track car with a real Bird wing. We didn't think it was anything significant... but at the time I wouldn't have known a Nichels built car if I saw one. I wish I knew then what I know now. I'm sure it was never a wing race car, I still wonder about that car and what it really was, and if it was an older car that was updated.
