Time for me to do some braggin..I know Rick Figari who owns the car..back in 93 I got to go for a ride we met up at Mels in SF also met Wolfman Jack that day,it was a private meeting for a 20th anniversary piece that NBC's TOday show was doing....
Pardon me, sir, but I lost my I.D. in... in a flood and I'd like to get some Old Harper, hard stuff. Would you mind buying a bottle for me?
saw them at the back to 50's 2 weeks ago and he said i hope your not disapointed in the coupes condition and we said no looks fabulous as it should , we heard they wanted to get JAMES TAYLOR from two lane blacktop ,plus the 55 ,that car was one of the 3 they used in graffiti 2 yrs later , the guy said that the car was more ofa remake because the real chassis had been cut up and tubbed and a few other things that made it not even look like the 55 in two lane , harrison wants toomuch money to show up plus alot of guarantees and public safety crap to show up at all http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/4602/car.html
PHOTO ABOVE: The only surviving original Two-Lane Blacktop '55 Chevy today. Outfitted with camera platforms, it was used for filming the scenes of the car's interior for Two-Lane Blacktop and then disposed of by Universal Studios. Another '55 built for Two-Lane Blacktop was used for filming exterior shots of the car, reused two years later as Falfa's Field Car in American Graffiti, and then further customized until little of the original car remains. A third '55 stunt car appeared briefly in some exterior shots in Two-Lane Blacktop, was rolled over in American Graffiti, afterwards sold for salvage, and later crushed

He's gonna be in Worcester at teh Summer Nationals this weekend. Haven't heard anything about the car being there and their link isn't working for me right now http://www.summernationals.com/
with out hair taylor wouldnt look right in the tlbt 55, plus dennis is gone, i have dreamed of having that car since 73, hell i still have dreams of it at least once a month. but, thats another board.
hey Boo where is this compared to the fairgrounds and Worthington(where we're staying) We are leaving at 7am Thur.(why I don't know). We should roll into Columbus around 11-11:30am. so we'll have alot of time to do not much. Let me know. We'll most likely stop at the Host Hotel kick-off party thursday early evening, but if it's not to far, I'd like to hit the cruz you mentioned.
hey grumpy, go staight up I71 to polaris exit.at the top of the ramp turn left. then go west aprox 2 miles . wholey joes in on the right or north side of the road behind KFC. the polaris exit is the very net one north of I270.should be just 10 mins or so from the worthington area
Isn't it funny how Paul LeMat is now a less sought after celebrity than a frickin' car? I'm thinking he ain't getting too many acting offers.
The coupe, `55 and the t`bird are all due to appear along with Milner at Stoneliegh car show here in England on the 11th/12th September this year.I heard that there is a good chance that Jeff Becks spot on clone is going to be there as well(more American Graffiti?)lol.Come hell or high water, I`ve gotta see this.
I was saying the same thing about Mr Le Matt...The only gigs he gets are these car shows signing autographs..And I know damn well that dont payy a whole hell of alot..10 years ago I wrote to him,this was before the whole newstalgia craze was in.I invited him to come to the Bay Area and hang out at one of the car show I put on.I also contacted Rick with the Coupe and tried to get a thing going he was more than happy to do it but Paul refused it.But he did send an autographed pic of himself and the pic was an earlier one when he still looked like a youn Milner..that was stolen along with my autographed A/G Album signed by the Wolfman..I could care less about all the other shit that was taken...I'll never be able to replace that album..
