History Norm Grabowski vs T.V. Tommy Ivo article

I stumbled upon this cool article today of the Kookie Kar vs. the Outhouse on Wheels on The Selvedge Yard's website. It's from 2009 and I'm not sure how I've never found it. Anyways, it's got some great photos of both Tommy's and Norm's T's, probably the 2 most influential T's out there. I always love to find old photos like this. It's a pretty good read. They also have some stuff on Dean Jeffries, Von Dutch and Ed Roth a**** others. Check it out.

This article mentions it

 

^^^^Read it again.^^^^^
The PAINT is a 56 Dodge color. The car always had a Cad engine
Edit; After reading both writeups, it obvious that the original article was plagiarized......poorly.

 

I misread that. My bad
