The 1973 film, American Graffiti was an extremely popular movie for its movie cars, alongside the many renown actors and actresses. The cars consisted of 1951 Mercury Coupe, 1955 Chevy sedan, 1956 Ford Thunderbird, 1958 Chevy Impala, and 1932 Ford Coupe. The 1955 Chevy was the one we talked about last time from Two Lane Black Top!
Fortunately, all those famous cars are still around today in pretty great condition. Rick Figari for example, bought the 1932 Ford Coupe pictured above. He was saying in an interview that the movie stood the test of time and became a pop culture phenomenon as young adults not born in that era of the film, would recognize the car on the road. It is really cool when stuff like that happens because the movie lives on with a whole new generation. All the other cars were enjoyed by families around the country.
We here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center hope you enjoyed another segment from Movie Cars. And if you have not seen American Graffiti, we highly recommend it.
