Street Rodder 1982 May - Cindy Williams, Paul Lemat

This Street Rodder is from 1982 though the Picture of Cindy and Paul looks older? I do like their quote that "Nothing gave street rodding a shot in the are like American Graffiti"

 

I don't think this is the original Graffiti Coupe in 1982?? So that would make this one of the earliest clones I have seen.

Movies as Artifacts 1982 - The Epic World Of American Graffiti

"The mythic land of American Graffiti is a country of city streets under the false day of relentless lights, of youths who live on wheels, where even the waitresses are on roller-skates and where all are electronically linked through the pulsating beat of their radios." "Wolfman Jack, the mysterious surrogate god of the neon wasteland" This article is packed with type of writing. It is a bit difficult follow at times as the Wrighter really reaches deep in to the movie with his comparisons of Milners chopped and channeled 32 to a knights armor. Most of the read pertains to John and Curt only briefly hazing over the rest of the cast.

Reelin' and Rockin' - Those Odlies But Goodies Remind Me Of You.

I got a call this morning from Mr Hopperstad he told me that Voodoo Larry was having an open house at his new shop in Elk Grove Village today. I have seen Larry around at shows and have seen his work so I dropped everything picked up a couple buddies and we were off to check the place out. VERY COOL! to say the least. I also found out today that American Graffiti is what set Larry down the Kustom road he lives today. Not Milners coupe but the Chopped Merc is what did it for him. Always makes me feel better to find some one else affected by "Graffitius"

Hey Larry keep on Reelin' And Rockin'. Check out Larry's website at Voodoo Larry Kustoms

TV Search 1982 - American Graffiti Revisited

This is a nice article on American Graffiti found in an obscure and small pamphlet from 1982 called TV Search. The Publication Of Television History & TV Collectibles. Almost ten years after it's release looks like our favorite movie was heading for the boob tube.
