Norm and Franco in Franco's exact clone of the original Kookie T in August of 1989. I remember asking Norm if I could get a shot similar to the one in the Apr. '57 issue of Life magazine, and Norm said, "Sure, if you'll get me a cheeseburger, I haven't had breakfast yet!" Has anything really changed? Note the "For Sale" sign on the windshield. If you wonder who bought it, wonder no more, it was the collector of all things "Norm," John LaBelle. (Photo by the author)
