Motion Pictures Lost Photos From the Set of American Graffiti

Magnum Photography Agency just hired a company to filter through its image archives and tag keywords. To everyone's surprise, look what the little artificial intelligence program unearthed..

...TREASURE...

 

Neat photos from the movie that brought our hobby out of obscurity of the '70's.

 

Just wonderful. I hope there are hundreds more to come. Gary

 

Great stuff!! Thanks for posting. Love the old black and whites. Really like the one with Ron Howard in the T-Bucket and Candy Clark is looking good with her ass parked on the fender of that Deuce Roadster......Don.

 

Cool...thanks!

 

Good stuff. Pharohs goofin in the merc is a good one..

 

Just a reminder any one near or in Connecticut they are showing American Graffiti at the Twin Drive in in Southington tomorrow night. Gate opens at 6:00
$10 a car load for Southington residents
$12 a car load any one else

 

I love this photo too. The T-bucket looks familiar too. I remember seeing it in a magazine but I can't remember which one. Maybe even the Rodders Journal coverage of the LA Roadsters? Anybody have an idea?

 

THe shot of Harrison Ford is.....great?

 

ron howard in the T is kinda cool...always liked thats thing...it showed up in the movie for like 5 seconds.

 

Any unpublished visuals from a nearly 40-year-old, enjoyable nostalgia romp
like this HAS to be a treasure! THANKS for posting the link!

 

The one of the Pharaohs in the merc is my favorite.

 

it seemed ron howard was a car guy in his early years ,,,wonder what happened..sure fame and fortune could be a BIG part of it..

 

*sigh* never seen the movie (yeah, i know) but i really want to

 

do you live under a rock? ? /\/\/\/\

 

That just made my day. The one of the Pharoahs in the Merc is flippin' awesome.

 

its ok man, i didnt see two lane black top until recently...and seeing james taylor in a hopped up 55 chevy was a little confusing....kinda like seeing enya in a roadster...wierd...

anyway...you should really check it out...if anything it will make you go cruising, eat a burger, and listen to doo wop
music...lol

 

cool find

 

Pharaoh's forever!!!!

 

Don't do it, it'll ruin your life. (Ask me how I know...)

Thanks for the photos

 

Alot of them are my favorite! Love to have prints hanging in the family room, bathroom, etc. Will these be available?

 

nice

 

Love the Pharaoh pics

 

WOW that's really cool.
Especially the one of Candy Clark and the Deuce. Don't recall that car in the movie, Will just have to watch it again tonight.

 

I went to see the movie when it first came out. Took my idiot ex-wife...
She didn't get it. DIDN'T GET IT!!! She went on to say that when she attended Sacramento High, there were no hot rods (or souped up cars) that she ever noticed. ('57-'61!)
I knew some guys that had attended school with her, they were Porsche customers of mine...They said, "Oh yeah, Cherie was real popular. But not with the car guys..."

I watched the movie that first time in ernest. I had to say, "Wow! I didn't think anybody knew what it was like to live downtown and race every night! Now they make a movie?"

"Rebel Without a Cause" was the mainstream movie that really annointed me.
It was the validation my young being needed. American Graffiti merely re-defined it.

 

Tie him to the back bumper and drag him,Lol

 

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

 

Wow, what a great collection of photographs. Thank you for sharing. I would like to have some nice quality prints of these.

Someone was asking about the T Bucket Ron Howard is in, I am sure thats the one Milner's friend with the sun glasses (at night) was driving, it's only shown for a few seconds.

 

^I love it! - no problem friend.

 

i just seen deuce of spades,the lip movement was not coordinated with the voices but it was great, i loved it. that young lady did a superb job with the knowledge she had.
