Best damn movie ever made. this part is funny <dl><dd>Bob Falfa: Hey man, I'm sorry if I scared ya!</dd><dd>John: You're gonna hafta do one hell of a lot more than that to scare me!</dd><dd>Bob Falfa: Hey I've been lookin' all over for ya man. Didn't nobody tell ya I was lookin' for ya?...Hey, you're supposed to be the fastest thing in the Valley, man, but that can't be your car. It must be your mama's car. I'm sorta embarrassed to be this close to ya.</dd><dd>John: I'm not surprised, drivin' a Field Car.</dd><dd>Bob Falfa: Field Car? What's a Field Car?</dd><dd>John: A Field Car runs through the fields, drops cow shit all over the place to make the lettuce grow.</dd><dd>Bob Falfa: [laughing] That's pretty good. Hey, I like the color of your car there, man. What's that supposed to be? Sorta a cross between Piss Yellow and Puke Green, ain't it?</dd><dd>John: Well, you call that a paint job but it's pretty ugly. I'll betcha you gotta sneak up on the pumps just to get a little air in your tires.</dd><dd>Bob Falfa: Well, at least I don't have to pull over to the side just to let a funeral go by, man.</dd><dd>John: Oh, funny... You know what?</dd><dd>Carol: Your car's uglier than I am! [She turns back to John] That didn't come out right.</dd></dl>
Busy B , I know the feelin'. Got the same problem my self. I used to work with a dude named Bob Ostrum. He was the bass player for a band called "Steve and the Goodtimes". He used to hate the tune "Green onions" 'cause it was requested so much after A.G. came out. And I still hear it in my head when I see a string of rods heading out somewhere.{ Too bad I'm usually headed in the other direction.}
And two years later I couldn't wait to paint my first car that sorta cross between Piss Yellow and Puke Green...

My son just bought me the DVD for Christmas, now I can retire my old video tape...... I'm on the trailing edge of technology !
Thanks Meatball From you that means alot. I was checking out you shop pictures and any guy who uses a tail gate for a shelf and has a framed picture of the coupe is #1 in my book Jeff
paul le mat will be in iowa and a rodncustom show in feb! i cant recall which one [deleted my friends email] but maybe someone knows...
Best car movie ever filmed. Maybe I am a bit biased though. Saw it when I was 10 years old and vowed to have the Black 55 someday. Meanest car I had ever seen. You could tell by the sound of the 55s engine when he ran the stoplight that Milner didnt have a chance. Always kind of wished for a different ending but I dont plan on rolling mine soon. I have a friend that just bought a couple of 32 coupes so I might have a chance to build one next.
just check his MYSPACE it will tell ya........heres some pis from my guest room,the large poster is signed by Ron Howard,Cindy Williams and Paul LeMat all 3 in the photo inside the poster....in the bottom of the 3 pics the b&w pic is the ad outa street rodder when they tried to sell the car(32) after the movie
Hey If you like American Graffiti but wanted a diffrent ending try to find the movie Deuce Coupe. Staring Paul Le Mat,Candy Clark. It has a 32 Ford,55 Chev, White T-Bird even an Edsel and let me tell you the ending is very diffrent than graffiti. Jeff
