A quick view of some of the interesting cars at the Wally Parks NHRA museum

Something new from Norm Grabowski, rocking horses. Cool ones!

I imagine that the Fred Thompson named as owner, is the former actor and senator. 

Norm Grabowski had a custom motorcycle made, and the shop put his photo on the back of their sales brochure

 a 41 Indian frame and Boyd DeFrance made the adapter to link the Indian shaft drive to the engine and cast the valve covers

Later, Tony Nancy added the upholstery to the cut down T-bucket sidecar rig and Dean Jeffries did the pinstriping

the Gnome Mobile was a 1967 Disney movie made right after Mary Poppins... and had Norm Grabowski in it, plus Walter Brennan, the Mary Poppins kids, and Ed Wynn

 notice that the a pillars had semaphore turn signals

old 1960's movies frequently seemed to use plentiful junkyards... so many of those cars would be valuable today for restoration or spare parts. 

Elvis and the Wall of Death movie "Roustabout" had Norm Grabowski in it!

Norm Grabowski had a bit part in "Sex Kittens Go To College" skip the first 3 min 30 seconds.... it's useless

There were 2 cars at the LA Roadster show in tribute to Norm Grabowski

The famous Horne intake. Very rare. Long story about these in the Rodders Digest if I recall correctly... the guy who made them was working at Bell autoparts, before they were famous for making the helmet, and before they bought out Cragar. He cast his name into them for a short while before the company owners bought the rights to them from him and I forget what name they cast on them after that
