History American Graffiti cars spotted in TN.

Grabbed this off of FB. These were apparently seen yesterday in Tennessee. Pretty cool!

 

A full set of clones?

 

Yeah.............but still, pretty cool!

 

Very cool.

 

Part 11 comin' up!!! That'd definitely get the head rotating eh...

 

Saweeet! Thanks for sharing!!

 

COOOOOOOL!

 

Wow, bet that rig turned some heads going down the highway!

 

I can't decide if it's cool or really sad. All that creativity and money to create something that has already been done-for a movie.

 

It is making money drawing in crowds at events, perhaps raising money for charity too. I've never seen them up, close and personal but if they were brought to an event this way I'd take a look. They are well represented here I know...

I wonder how authentic they are...The Merc looks a little better than what I remember...I know Hamber @Nicholas Coe here had one that was near as nice as the original. The Coupe looks to have a Man A Fre...I don't know how it's spelled...

Discs up Front and Radials...for all I know that may still be authentic and was swapped with period footage to date it when required

Bitchin'!
To those that complain that it's not every original car in as filmed or restored condition, when were they all together and in that state?
Enjoy that someone gathered these together and is sharing them. That's a lot of time, energy and effort even to replicate, then to transport and maintain.
I appreciate this a lot more than some one-off hyper-car roadster with no windshield parked in Monte Carlo.

Heck, they even have a Vespa in front of the 2CV and the trash can!

 

Would love to see!

And they even preserved our beloved p!$$ yellow!

 

TITS!!

 

They were on display at the Pueblo NSRA event. Not perfect but pretty good.

 

Simply magnificent!
Someone has $pent their money very well!

 

Too bad they don't have 1962 era semi trucks and trailers to haul them on, something like this.

 

One of the local car clubs is having a cruise in at the Moonlite Drive-In Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia this weekend. After the cruise in and car show they are going to show American Graffiti and Rebel Without A Cause. These cars may be headed there for the event.

All that above, plus remember to tip to your carrier driver for the 'extra' peril.

 

Pueblo pics.

 

More.

 

Is that you in that beautiful car?
What a waste of machinery.

 

Really cool, a major effort to put them all together and take them around for people to see.

 

On Most all these reproduction movie cars, they always miss the tires. These would have all had bias plies on it and in the pictures they have ugly radials. Not like they're driving these cars anywhere.

 

What's with the Texas plates on the back?

 

On these they missed alot more than the tires. In this video, the owner talks about the other differences back when he had 5 of the cars:

 

These 1:64 scale cars were on display in Pueblo, Co in June. The 1:1 cars were cool to see in one place.

 

I believe the guy who owns and hires them out for display lives in Texas. For a fairly subatantual fee he will send them to your event for display.

 

they should display the cop car with the back half sitting on the frame and the rear axle chained to a telephone pole

 

Great pic! That's the original spot where that scene was filmed in the movie! Empty lot adjacent to the Mystic Theater in downtown Petaluma.
