" A DREAM BOAT for hot-rodders is a chromed roadster like this one belonging to Norm Grabowsky of Sunland, Calif. The car, a Ford with a Cadillac engine, took him $8,000 and five years to build.He and many hot-rodders spend a lot of time at drive-ins where they can satisfy their hunger and show off their creations".
I've met Norm at the NSRA Nats South at Winston-Salem in '79 and later in this century at the Nats South in Knoxville, Tn. Always fun to talk to.
