Motion Pictures Two Lane Blacktop Revisited

KQQL Link Man !!! ,,I have a big chunk of blacktop outa the track and a piece of wood from the bleachers ,,sent to me by Walt Bailey when i won the TLB Trivia Contest on the old TLB Web Site a few years ago ,,,Walt went to Lakeland with his TLB '55 to take pictures of how it is now ,,compared to back then ,,posted the then and now pics on his Group Site ,,still are on the new TLB Group Site ,,He managed to get several chunks of the track and pieces of wood from the old bleachers ,,Gee,,wonder if i hold that piece of track up to my ear if i can here the cars doin' a burnout ,??/,,lol,,lol,,

 

My wife and I collect B-movies and I must add, TLB is at the top of the food chain. James Taylor was admitted into the nut house shortly after the release of TLB.

before his release he actually wrote several of his chart popper hits. FYI

 

This picture was taken by a guy not with the TLB film crew ,,he was just staying at a hotel in Santa Fe and saw this out his window ,,thought it was just different enough to snap a pic of it ,,shows the three TLB '55's in the parking lot of the hotel ,,along with film crew support cars n trucks ,,,a really rare picture ,sorry for the quality ,,or lack there of ,,it is a poloroid ,,taken in 1970 ,,

 

OH,,and you can see the GTO too ,,at the front of the trailer ,,,musta been a heck of a lot of work loading and unloading all that stuff at each film site ,,,

Hope this pic goes thru ,,this is the Burn car in Grafitti ,,notice it Does NOT have radiused wheel wells and has the deluxe bumper ,,and painted silver wheels ,,not chrome ,it was indeed a hardtop with a piece a 2 x 4 used to make it look like a post car ,,after this scene ,,the fire put out and the '55 returned to the junk yard where it came from ,,the TBLno 3 / Grafitti Stunt car was put on its roof ,,but not burned ,,it had radiused wheel wells,,standard bumper and of coarse it was a 2 door post car ,,
