Norm Grabowski Passes
Norm Grabowski, the man who literally invented the T-Bucket with his famous "Kookie Kar" has passed away.
Grabowski's creation launched hundreds of thousands of copies and even entire cottage industries over the years which is certainly not what the talented craftsman and hot rodder had in mind when he built the car in the early 1950s. The car's look was revolutionary for the time and featured a pieces from a 1922 Model T, the shortened bed from a Model A pickup truck, a Cadillac engine, and lots and lots of time and fabrication work to make it all look "right". Grabowski showed and drag raced the car.
His success at the strip was so inspirational that Tommy Ivo himself managed to sneak into Grabowski's garage when he wasn't home to get measurements and details to built a 'bucket of his own to take to the drags. We all know what happened with that Ivo character!
The car became literally famous as a member of the cast of the show "77 Sunset Strip" where it was driven around by a character named Kookie, hence the car's name. So influential was the car that it appeared on the cover of Hot Rod in 1955, Car Craft in 1957, and during the same year it appeared on the cover of Life Magazine in an issue where lots of space was devoted to both it and Norm.
Why would Life write a cover story about a hot rod and the rodder that built it? Because this single car ignited a craze to build machines just like it around the country. So often in this hobby, things can't be traced back to a specific point but more a gathering of smaller pieces onto trends and movements that drive things in one direction or another. That's not the case with T-Buckets. Ground zero was Grabowski's car, no disputing it.
As the car got famous, so did Norm and he had an acting career for years because the car had opened the often tightly shut doors of show business to him. Grabowski was in many televisions shows and movies over the years. Along with his skills as a hot rodder and actor, Grabowski was a very gifted wood carver and his various artistic creations are highly coveted among hot rod collectors and enthusiasts. Norm was a hot rodder to the end working on a bunch of cool projects and being the generally awesome dude that everyone who knew him says that he was.
Norm joins too many of the foundation level hot rodders that have left us this year.
Above article courtesy Brian Lohnes as submitted to BangShift.com
Grabowski doing his thing!
The shot with Norm holding the model of the Kookie Car is one of Darold's favorites. Norm is holding the first die cast prototype and was quite impressed! Dale, a good friend and Norm's valued helper shot the photo for the Franklin Mint. That's the 'Puke Truck' in the background.
That's John LaBelle at Sacramento Vintage with the cut-out of Norm that John hade made for the display. John is the owner of the Kookie Car clone that Von Franco had created many years ago. This photo was taken just after we heard that we lost Norman.
Rest In Peace Norman! You will be missed.
As someone said on the HAMB......Hot Rod Heaven
will not be the same with Norm hanging around up there....

A 1937 Ford Housecar
One of only six said to have been made per year in the
mid-'30s at the Ford Plant in St. Paul, Minnesota, according to an article on this car in a 1993 "Old Cars" magazine article.
Very few others--perhaps none--remain on the road, and certainly not in such amazing original condition. (The only other known example heard of was supposedly housed in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. But that turned out to be an early 1920s Model T conversion,
the curator mentioned. He said he'd never seen anything like this 1937!)
When discovered in a garage (under a heavy cover) in Northern Minnesota in August 2001, she had only 19,000 miles, and the owner's manual was actually still the glove box in like-new condition! She had always been garaged and treated with much TLC as a collector vehicle.
The interior, all wood lined, was still the way it appeared
in the '30s and '40s, complete with framed photos of the original owner on his travels (mainly to Florida) and his cabin in the North Woods, plus and other memorabilia from the era.
Built on the '37 Ford Pickup frame and cowling (powered by a 60-hp flathead V8 with aluminum heads), the rear framing is all wood, with the metal skin wrapped around it. The roof structure, too, is all wood, over which the heavy, waterproofed canvas top is still very securely fitted. The structure of the body is solid, appearing from underneath to be all oak, and still in a remarkably unaltered, undamaged condition. The door frames are thick, solid oak, and oak is visible around the window openings (as on thefour side windows in back) -- though it is painted over.

SHEEPHERDER BAR AND GRILLE
The Citrus Inn opened in 1913
in this very building on Folsom Boulevard. Citrus was sold in front of the building to everyone that passed by on busy Folsom Boulevard.
Folsom Boulevard was a main thoroughfare for the gold rush in the mid 1800s. Many immigrants and forty-niners were in search of some of the gold that James W Marshall and John Sutter found in the American River. The railroads that are still visible across the street today were the same railroads that were constructed in the late 1800s.
Rumor has it that over the years The Citrus Inn became many different businesses, including The Edwards Hotel, and at one point, a brothel. Everyone came to the building to eat good food and to have a good time. There was drinking and dancing 'til late at night.
Later, the building became known as Sheepherder Inn. It was a place for Basque sheepherders to come and rest upstairs in the Inn and enjoy a hearty meal downstairs, which probably consisted of meats, fish, lamb stews, legumes, cheeses and Basque cider.

FLOWMASTER MUFFLER
 In 1983 California Sprint Car racers were experiencing 'excessive sound' issues at numerous race tracks and were told to quiet the cars down or lose racing privileges. All attempts to silence the race engines without sacrificing power repeatedly failed.
Enter Flowmaster founder, Ray Flugger, with over 45+ years of exhaust design experience, and while working out of a small 800 square foot barn in Kenwood, California, created Flowmaster's first patented design of racing silencers. Ray attached handles to ease carrying the square shaped race mufflers through the race pits, and the mufflers became known as the "suitcase muffler." Today, these innovative Flowmaster mufflers are the result of years of development with top race engine builders, thousands of hours of dyno research and "real-world" on-track testing
 Flowmaster's product line includes exhaust products for Performance Street, Muscle Cars, Trucks, Street Rods, RV's, Motorhomes, and all types of race applications. With over 400 different muffler models, 370+ exhaust systems and numerous exhaust accessories available, Flowmaster offers you the choice of sound to fit your preference from "wild to mild" and your specific vehicle needs.
