American Graffiti Poll. Your Favorite Car

Hands Down the 56 Gay Bird I mean Turd Bird I mean T-bird!

 

I like the '36 that pulls up next to Milner to tell him about Falfa.

 

I'm with the guy above, the slingshot from More American Graffiti is tough. Although runner up would definately be the '55, but I'mn kinda biased.

 

1. T Bucket at the Acme Fallout Shelter Company.

2. Pazudo's '36 coupe

3. Spectator's '57 Chevy at the drag race.

4. Freddy Benson's Vette (not shown)

 

What about Earl's 41 Ford? Milner comes awful close to admitting that it is/was the real fastest car in the Valley. "Used to be the fastest car in the Valley. I never got to race ol Earl."

 

While of course I love tham all, something about that '58 just speaks to me. I'd love to build a clone some day.

 

guess ...
saw , photgraphed and "touched" the milner coupe at world of wheels testerday st. paul

i feel better now !

I think the Merc looks better in the pic than the movie.

 

Hey Angryyouth You call that a paint job? It's pretty ugly I bet you got to sneak up on it with a hose just to get a little air in your tires!
Lets see some more. Post some pics.

 

NO CONTEST!! The piss yellow coupe.

 

All I got to say is, "Real hot rods don't have paint jobs!" -Angry

 

Well today will be your last day to vote before the poll closes so if you have not voted now is the time to get it done. Early results look like the Coupe will be the winner. I guess with its chopped grill shell and bobbed fenders that so many dont care for it is still an American Icon and one of the most reconized hot rods on the planet. I have to wonder to myself if it wasn't in the movie would it still be as popular as it is? I doubt it. I think everyone can relate to the Milner character in the movie in one way or another. I dont think its just the car its the idea of being the coolest the fastest and of allways being number one. Looks like this is one more race the B@tchenest car in the valley will win. Thanks to all who voted and posted and the great PM's Looks like you can stay 17 forever
