Norman Kraus, age 87, late of Highland Park, IL passed away on Friday 2/26/21.
Perhaps no one was responsible for more sales of Dodge performance vehicles during the muscle-car era than Norm Kraus, AKA Mr. Norm.
As a co-owner of Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago from 1962 through 1977, his focus on high performance helped it become the biggest Dodge dealership in the world.
Goodbye, Mr.Norm....

Legend..... RIP
I listened to an interview with him quite recently from The Musclecar place....really interesting and really gave some insight into what a pioneer he was, well worth a listen.

Another one gone.
Far too many obituaries lately, it makes you realise how important every day is. Enjoy it all while you can.

A sad loss. I bought some bits from him at the US Mopar Nats, and he always had time to chat.
RIP Mr Norm.
