I'd lay heavy odds that the Bob Grossman in Colorado and the bob Grossman 
formerly of Rockland County NY are not the same person.

I knew and spent lots of time a the track with the Rockland County Grossman.  
Last I heard he was still around living out on the end of Long Island at 
Montauk Point.  He's got to be up there in years, I'd say 70+. He was not a 
Vinatge Racer in todays terminology. He drove them when they were not yet 
vintage. He drove with Cunningham and was I believe the last privateer to run 
Sebring.  He was driving a Shelby Cobra and Mustang when I knew him in the 
early middle 60's.  

BTW his lot in West Nyack was a sight to see in the early 60's. I would guess 
that virtually everything made in that period and before passed through his 
lot..  They were just old beat up cars then. Now it would be a museum.  He 
specialized in rare marques buying and selling but he made his money from 
selling VW, Porsch and Maserati.  I drove one of the first 912's to come into 
the US back and forth from the East Coast tracks, Lime Rock, Bridgehampton, 
erc.  My job was to deliver the cooler with beverages!  Worked the big car 
show at the NYC Coliseum one year (65?)  We had a new Maser in the parking 
garage for demos.  We Demoed it quite a bit up and down Manhatten.  
Especially after the show closed!! 

OK I'll turn off the memory machine.
