Longtime Industry Writer, Editor, Photographer, JERRY WEESNER, and, Legendary Rodder, NORM GRABOWSKI, clued me in on Crusin' Hollywood Boulevard in 1957 !

They're both great story tellers with memories of what was truly the "birth" of R&C Crusin' in those early days in California.

This is one of my favorite Interviews, because in the 60's I actually lived in Hollywood...and it brings back warm memories for me too.   Thanks again Norm & "Weez".   JK
