But sadly, Father Time is undefeated and will continue to be. I believe Norm was 87 or so? Met him years back at the CMC Mopar show when it was held at the Belvedere assembly plant and I had him sign the under deck lid of my then 70 Norms TA. Saw him again at a Mopar show here in Indiana and he was a joy to talk to. He knew the younger generation was curious as to how things went down back then and he was happy to share some stories. Was looking forward to seeing him at MCACN this fall and I wanted to get an updated pic with him and my TA. RIP. Last edited by ricomondo; 02/28/21 03:58 PM. GY3 71 Demon 340

Just wish that his dealership would have be closer when I went looking for an M-Code Dart GTS back in 1969.........I'm sure none of his salesmen would have laughed me out of the dealership like happened when I asked about it at my local Dodge dealer. Godspeed Mr. Norm Mike

In A12's picture I have been trying to find that 68 D100 Adventurer he is standing in front of also to no avail. I know it was at the Chicago Auto Show but was hoping it ended up at his dealership... BTW, the Charger 500 has been found, but not sure where the M-Code Dart is in front of it... Last edited by Rhinodart; 03/01/21 08:30 PM.

On the other hand it's hard to tell if that is or isn't an A12 lift-off-hood scoop on it from the photo angle?? But for sure if you look in the lot on the other end of the showroom you will see this.............yeah I looked this photo over, and over and over many, many times

I still love seeing the Corvette that got traded in! In the famous picture of him with the Demon you see a Superbird in the background that was traded in, I wish I know what it was traded for!

Mostly I would talk to him at the Mopar Nats or Chryslers at Carlisle. He was always very kind, and generous with any information or stories to tell. And I also thanked him for his many contributions to the Mopar world, and he was always delighted that people cared about his work. He was a MAJOR part of Mopar's history, and he will be sadly missed. Condolences, thoughts, and prayers to his family... R.I.P. Sir and GODSPEED to you.
