          Norman "Norm" Grabowski (February 5, 1933 – October 12, 2012) was a Polish-American hot rod builder and actor.

          Biography

          Grabowski was born in Essex County, New Jersey (either Irvington or Maplewood, sources vary), the youngest of three siblings born to Polish immigrant parents.

          In 1952, after leaving the US Army on a medical discharge,[4] He built a hot rod based on a shortened 1922 Ford Model T touring car mated to a similarly extremely shortened Model Apickup truck bed. With a powerful Cadillac overhead valve engine that came from his parents' sedan, the vehicle that resulted had a unique appearance and stance, which inspired many hot rods created afterward.

          The car was first featured on the cover of the October, 1955 issue of Hot Rod and then underwent further modifications
