The History of Grand Spaulding Dodge and Mr. Norm

Hey everyone. If you haven't heard yet, the amazing Mr. Norm recently passed away on February 26th 2021, at 87 years old. His dealership was responsible for so much cool Mopar history that I just had to cover it.

If you have any Mr. Norm stories please share them below for everyone.

Chicago Tribune has an online obituary if you'd like to send your condolences to the family.

As things are gaining momentum around here, I want to give a shout out to some friends who've helped me on starting this channel and some stuff on my 71 Charger build. Check them out if you're planning on going down the youtube rabbit hole. They have some great content, from how to videos, cool builds, and other car stuff!
