That movie helped revitalize the car cruising culture again in the 70`s and revitalized oldies music to a new generation, our "circuit" was Francis Lewis Blvd, in Queens,NY.
I drove that loop for many years of my youth in a 41 Chevy Coupe pearl white with flames and a red satin coffin interior, our Mels was a MacDonalds and that lot would be full of muscle cars and hotrods.
The addiction never left me and in my barn up north in PA well snowed in right now is a 67 Chevelle, a 69 Chevelle and a 48 Dodge Coupe.I consider them time machines to chase after "Peter Pan" with.
There was a movie soundtrack album that had all the songs and wolfman talking between the songs right from the movie. I had it on 8 track and people next to you at traffic lights would give funny looks hearing the wolfman talking thru their windows.
