Crawdaddy 1973 November - George Lucas - American Graffiti



As I sort thru stacks of books and magazines hunting that next Graffiti jewel I have noticed a trend. The newer articles about American Graffiti seem to ask the same questions over and over and sometimes even quote incorrect "facts" from other articles. It is a shame when there are so many untold Graffiti stories out there and the real facts fade a little every day. I guess that's why I personally prefer the early stuff when the reporters asked good and interesting questions. . Now for some fresh facts from 1973. It's a great article back when they could get an interview with Lucas.

Hot Rods Field Guide 2004



"When Lucas Spotted it in a Shop" ???? This is a new one for me.


Lamont? ....Big Dummy! Isn't that Fred "G' Sanfords Son? and now I guess the G stands for Graffiti?  Lemat... Lamont who fact checks anymore? Most people would probably not catch the misspelling but we all know what a stickler I am for the details.




Look they state that the 55 still exists! and they didn't confuse Figari's 55 clone with the real car. Jeff
