Ralph, I am sure that you know why the dealer was called GS Dodge. The place was right on the corner of Grand Ave and Spaulding on the North Side of Chicago.
Here is a REAL NOS Mr. Norms trunk decal that I have in my Chi-Town dealer memorabilia collection. They are different than the Mr. Norms Sport Club repops. The real ones are a darker blue printed on 3M reflective sheeting just like the REAL Nickey, Brigance, and other Chi-town area dealer Decals. |

The area looks kind of quiet Frank---Did a lot of places close down?----

Joe when I took those pics it was a Sunday morning in January and probably 10 below 0. There were people that actually came out and approached my father asking what our business was there. They lived in the place across the street called The Victory Church which used to be Mr. Norms parts warehouse. The place is now a half way house for recovering drug addicts. They thought we were sent by the city to close them down.

X-plant. That decal is a repop on that car. You can tell because they are a bright blue instead of the original dark like French blue.

Joe...it's not a real people friendly area anymore...a few more blocks west gets you to the best damn hot dogs in Chicago...Jimmy's... a block or 2 south and you better have a vest on....
