"American Graffiti" is one of my favorite movies. The 1932 Ford 5 Window coupe looks totally credible to the one featured in the movie. The original coupe was equipped with a 283 engine rather than a 350. It does sound healthy and roars like a lion with those side pipes. The power trunk lid, and the power windows are an interesting feature. That record album you featured in the Trunk 'n Treats brings back a lot of great memories. My aunt had that exact same soundtrack album, and my cousin and i wore it out. It has some awesome music on it. Thanks for the memories Lou!
Nice car for sure. Been very hectic here on the South Carolina Coast this week. Saw the ballon from our front porch, saw it shot down, then watched the recovery from the beach. History in the making...
Hey, Lou! Been following your videos for a while! Great job you do! On this Milner tribute car, which powerplant is used? Couldn't tell exactly what it looked like. Love those pipes! Looked like a Nailhead
¡Fantástico éste Ford 5 coupé Hot Rod amarillo 1932 de la película American Graffiti estrenada en 1973! Ésta fué la segunda película del famoso director y productor George Lucas. La placa de identificación del vehículo tiene casi la misma nomenclatura que su primer film "THX 1138". Me encantaron las sorpresas detrás del baúl; como los modelos a escala o el mismo álbum musical. Éso si, el ruido que producía su feroz motor, no dejaba casi escuchar lo que hablaban en la cabina, jaja. Supongo que ésto también se debe a que la máquina está expuesta y sin cubierta. ¡Hermosa la toma final, a toda velocidad, como si fuera un indomable Hot Rod del camino! Saludos cordiales, Lou!
American Graffiti was such a great movie. I watched it recently after being recommended it by an older gentleman who practically lived through the same experiences in the 70s as a young man himself. As somebody barely out of my teens, I definitely feel an affinity with the movie as well because some of it's really what my friends and I try to do half the time ourselves, at least with the cars. If I see that gentleman again I am gonna try to convince him to try and come on your video series. He has this rare, wonderful Chrysler Newport convertible that he carefully repaired over decades. The story about how he got and restored that car is incredible.
Lou, thanks for tracking down another important piece of graffiti! The THX 138 license plate on the Milner car from the American Graffiti move came from George Lucas's first movie titled THX 1138, a sci-fi film starring Robert Duval.
I know the 55 is still around. That was the same 55 used in Two Lane Blacktop as well. And I know the white 58 Chevy was found a few years ago and is still in good original condition. You can search videos on those on TH-cam. They're worth a peek.
Very cool! Supposedly the original car is here in my area. We of course have a handful of tributes around but only the one is rumored to be the original.
Yeah Lou, One of my favorite movies AND favorite cars. John Milner was so cool going up against Bob Falfa. VERY well written and 'All Summer Long' is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs! Is Steve's '58 Chevy next brother??
Pretty close to John Milners for sure. A fun movie, I was just getting my license & had my first crush. One question Lou,how did time pass so fast? These old hot rods were a big slice of pure Americana!
Hi Richard, You're right, time is passing.....however when you get in these cars and take them for a spin you get a change to go back to those memories of our youth :-) Lou
Best stars of American Graffiti: Suzanne Somers & her '55 T-Bird. Wolfman Jack.... but what would the Wolfman drive? VW **Fox**? Stutz **Bearcat**? **Greyhound** bus? ⁰

It's got the wrong intake too.... supposed to be a 4x2 intake...
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy this movie and glad the music was fun listening for your family :-) Lou
The Milner coupe actually had a 327!
Uh, no, 327.
Nice car for sure. Been very hectic here on the South Carolina Coast this week. Saw the ballon from our front porch, saw it shot down, then watched the recovery from the beach. History in the making...

A nice tribute to both a classic car and a classic car movie! Mr. Archacki has a real gem and it looks perfect for cruising. Thanks, Lou!

Very cool!!!!! 👍👍
Happy to read "Very cool!!!!!" :-)
always loved the coupe and the 55 in the movie, does anyone know if the original car still exists?
I know the 55 is still around. That was the same 55 used in Two Lane Blacktop as well. And I know the white 58 Chevy was found a few years ago and is still in good original condition. You can search videos on those on TH-cam. They're worth a peek.
@@jonathanpasch6604 really?... doesnt look like the same 55 ... im pretty sure at least one of the 2 55s from tlbt are around ( they used 2 i guess)
@@martinedwards4522 I think they modified it between films but it is the same car. The studio had all the history of it.
@@jonathanpasch6604 thanks
Hi Martin, I'm not sure, however I see others might have info to share. Lou
Very cool! Supposedly the original car is here in my area. We of course have a handful of tributes around but only the one is rumored to be the original.
Happy to read KD's boosted the real deal is close to you :-) Hope you see it on the streets soon.
Milner had a Man-A-Fre intake if I recall right. May be hard to come by now although I'm sure they turn up for sale on eBay and elsewhere.
Thank you for sharing what you remember and noticed.
Another home run! Thanks, 👍🏻👍🏻Lou!!
Thank you Vincent :-) You're welcome.
I read that the '55 from Graffiti also "starred" in another classic: Namely, Two Lane Blacktop.
Thank you for sharing that movie trivia.
Lou, That plate is interesting. George Lucas’ first film was THX 1138. Cool car! Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Mike, Thank you for sharing what you notice. You're welcome, Lou
When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be John Milner SO BAD...
:-)
Oh man, I wanted one of these in the worst way for years as a young man...never got around to looking for one when I could..great job on this car!
Hi Rick, Happy to share the one you wanted :-) Lou
You guys didn't see any wicked black 55 Chevys out there did ya? That would have been epic!
HI Richard, Haven't seen that one yet :-) Lou
Great movie, and car 😎
I agree :-)
Great car from the greatest car movie next to Bullitt, plus the film that was responsible for both Star Wars, Han Solo AND Happy Days
Hi Chris, Happy to read you enjoy this car and the movie too. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Did he have a glove box full of tickets like Milner?
Hmmm, I did not check.....
Not bad, the only thing that disappointed me was that your tribute car has an automatic transmission.
Hi Charles, Soooo close :-) Lou
Very nice car not quite there with the engine and induction on it.
The original engine was a 327 with 4 Rochester 2 G Carbs.
Hi JonH3234, Thanks for sharing what you notice, Lou
Will you sell it ?
Hi Uncle Dave's Magic, I'm not aware of this car being for sale, Lou

Hi Dan, Thanks for sharing, Lou
"Rock and roll's been going down hill ever since Buddy Holly died."

Wasn't Milner's car a 4-speed?.........Sorry Lou, you know my love for stirring a gearbox.....nice car all the same.
Hmmm, I'm not sure. Hoping a Viewer can confirm. Happy to read you appreciate this "nice car" thelaststraw :-)
What.motor? 327?
350
No Milner coupe is correct without the 4X2 Man A Free intake system....
Hi Gods own Drunk, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
MR LOUUU
MR CHONNN
6 2-barrel Intake would make the car.
That would be a nice addition.
I have the Motor Max toy, Mel's diner with this car... Too much
Nice :-)
👍🔥😍🔥👍
Hi Carl, Happy to see you enjoy this car :-) Lou
That car isn't even close to milners coupe it's a nice car, but so much is missing and .wrong .
Hi John Milner, Well you'd be the correct person to know :-)
My name is John Milner and I approve this message.👌
Thank you.
