Mike, thank you for sharing your Nickey story. Speaking of Grand Spaulding Dodge, my father (I know that I mention him a lot but like you he was their and I just love the guy! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) had kind of a cool story about Mr. Norms. Back in 1968 He got a call from a friend of his that said he just bought a car from Mr.Norms. His friend didn't know how to drive stick but my dad did and he needed someone to drive it home for him. My dad said the car was "day 2" to the max! It was a 1964 Malibu convert, metal flake blue paint, button tucked interior, torque thrust mags, 327, 4 speed, and a killer set of glass packs. He said that the used car lot was loaded with various makes & models of muscle cars. Believe it or not he said that he didn't go across the street to the new car showroom!! He was so captivated with the used car lot and pumped about driving home that bad ass Chevy!

My father is a police officer in the city and recently he made a trip back to Mr Norms while on duty. As we already know they are long gone. In the dealerships place on the south side of the street which was the new car showroom is a place called The Victory Church. On the North side of the street where the used car lot was where he was back in 1968 is a hand car wash. The building where the offices were and the used car building are still there but closed off. He was able to walk both propertys and kind of flash back to different times which was kind of cool. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
