I had the privilege of meeting Norm a number of years ago at a Toronto car show. No one else was around and I got talking to him, what a great guy. He told me about acting on the Beverly Hillbillies show and also Ben Hur. The T Bucket is a hot rod icon.

Awesome video! Do you guys know when and where will that Kookie Kar be displayed to the public again? I'm a car photographer and have a 1/24 scale model of that car. Thank you.

1970 I was 16 years old and at Irwindale Raceway walking the pits. I met Tommy Ivo, he had two burned up slicks mounted on aluminum slotted rims. He sold me those two wheels and tires for $25.00 on the spot. I took them home and put them in my Dads garage. I had nothing to put them on, I was only 16 but....It was cool when my friends came over and I could point to them and say, I got them from Tommy Ivo...Years later after I moved out Pop said get rid of them I need the room...lol.

Grabowksy's 'Kooky' car was always my favourite T-bucket. Didn't Ed Roth start off working at Disneyland, doing fibreglass for their go-karts and rides. And I know Roth loved doing burn-outs, but I heard he never drank or did any drugs, because of his Mormonism.

Is that the real Norm car or a clone? I thought that the original car was missing.

Norms car was purchased at auction a few years back restored back to the way it’s shown by Brizo.

LOL - they didn't start removing the fenders until the "Kookie Kar" debuted? Dude - you need to do some actual research....
