Nick sought out only the finest low-mileage, original examples for his collection. Many are winners of the ÒRouge Award,Ó named for FordÕs vast River Rouge assembly plant and reserved for cars with factory-original paint, interiors and drivelines. Others are ÒDearbornÓ cars, woodies meticulously restored in NickÕs own extensive facilities.
