Location: McHenry Illinois | Hello All,
Went to a local Mopar only car show today and won Mr. Norms picks "Best B body" plaque. I had him sign inside my trunk lid too. He is quite cool.

Location: Big pimpin' | Dave, Met Mr. Norm at Carlisle this year, and didn't even know he was helping me at the counter till I looked up!
I said: "I think I'm talkin' to the man?"
He said:" You got the man!"
He was a helluva nice guy! |

Yup. Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. He was the Mopar performance king in the '60s and '70s:

Mr. Norm...The Father of the 440 Darts..Take one 383 GTS Dart body, Add one 440 magnum, change GTS to GSS and you got a Grand Spaulding Special....
He was noted for the supercharged duster's and stuff too..
Truely, THE MAN.............. |
