Hot Rods American Graffiti on Netflix

Watched A.G. On Netflix today and on one of the promo shots it shows a killer blue maybe 56 Ford…didn’t see it in the movie. Anyone have any info on the car?

 

This photo?

 

You beat me to it…yep that’s the one.

 

Have I overlooked it in the movie?

 

Not showing in the movie according to the database. Did you spot the 71 corolla?

I have not…I think I saw an early 40s Ford truck with a parachute…

 

I have watched American Graffiti way too many times. Never saw the 56 Ford at all.
I'm going to say it was not in the movie.

 

On Netflix, in the thread “50 years ago” or similar, it was mentioned it was currently on Netflix. Yes, I asked my remote to find it and watched it

 

...Why you all keep calling it a '56 Ford!!??

 

What year is it? I’m clueless on that era of Ford?

Edit: just expanded the article posted. Says Buick.

 

It's a Buick, '57 I believe

 

Now I feel less “unintelligent “

I knew about the Toyota but you had me thinking I was nuts calling a Buick a Ford! Thanks for the scare!

 

Notice the TTs and blackwalls in the pic with Debbie & Toad. Wider than what might have been on a street car in '62. But at least it wasn't with the raised white letter '70s rubber. The prism sticker now, must say it's late '60's at the oldest. I like the car.

 

Agreed…TT’s without the raised white letters looks way better…

 

...I still have some of that "prism" tape around here somewhere. It was the hot lick in '70's.

 

I think the promo pics were probably done long after filming by the studio. Unfortunatly with less care to historical accuracy as the original producers. Not the first time this has happened.

 

Watching it for the 1,000,000,000 time and its still as good as the first. Plays at our local drive in too!

 

Good article in the Hagerty magazine this month on AG. That car is in the article.........

 

I used to have the official sound track on c***ette tape with the Wolfman Jack intros to the tracks, played it in the car till the tape went bad. I was looking for it on spotify recently but all the albums reporting to be the sound track but are in fact compilations without the Wolfman Jack on.

 

'Ol Curt was a little out of his league with the boys that night. Best that he got on the plane in the morning.

 

I've watched AG a bunch if times (more than 10, less than 100)...never seen the Toyota...which scene is it in and where?

 

I am wondering how many out there are thinking of making the trek to Petaluma for the 50th reunion? Probably the best and one of the last chances to see and pay tribute to the remaining cars and cast.
Saturday May 20th the main cruise and Friday the 19th informal cruise gathering.

 

Thanks...gonna watch it again and look for these items.
