Introduction part 2:
This is Norm Grabowski, a transplant from New Jersey be way of California and alot more, and he has been called "The Father of the T-bucket." He lives surrounded by memories as well as hopes. Inside, a large great room projects what a man can do with a house when he unleashes his creativity. It's somewhere between Marlon Brando and Andy Warhol, somewhere between the 1950's and the 1950's, with touches of today winking between winter weary potted planted. There are pictures of him in gleaming rods, pictures of him with Burt Reynolds, soft black and white prints of him out of the pages of Victor Hugo.
It's me Norm!
You saw Norm in Darby's Rangers and Hooper
and in a bunch of flicks with Frankie Avalon
and that crowd that cavorted all over the
Southern California beaches. You saw him in
Son of Flubber and The Misadventures of Merlin
Jones, Monkey's Uncle, The Happiest Millionaire
and Black Beard's Ghost for Disney and in
The Towering Inferno. You probably saw him
too, in Life Magazine and you might have seen
him in Hotrod Magazine and Street Rodder.
And you would have seen him in 77 Sunset strip
had he been the star with the car rather than
Ed "Kookie" Byrnes. -end
