For me, this movie was first & foremost a car movie! I still would love to have that 32 Coupe Milner drove, but would gladly settle for the bad & black 55 Chevy Harrison Ford drove!

You had Richard Dreyfuss, which this film help launch his career, trying to remember the good times before he goes off to college and is sidetracked by the blonde in the T-Bird (who was Suzanne Somers in one of her early roles). That was obviously the main story, but there was many other things going on during the night, it was more than just a buddy film. What gets overlooked is the band playing at the school hop, Flash Cadillac who went to have a fairly successful career keeping this music alive. I believe they are still playing shows to this day.

Also not on the OP's song list is Flash Cadillac playing Louie Louie in American Graffiti. The most popular version of Louie Louie was recorded by The Kingsmen. However Flash Cadillac is the band playing the school hop in the movie.

Project X was star of Hollywood knights. You know the million dollar 57 two door post.

I know a '57 Chevy is really nice. If I could, I would buy a '62 Corvette, I always liked those side scoupes. However, I even like a '62 T-Bird, especially the covertible with that backseat cover and round tail lights.

Nice song list. I just printed it out and Alexa is going to be busy tonight.

I do some DJ work (private parties) and I have a theme party based on Wolfman Jack.
Back in the day, as many had, we spent Friday and Saturday Night on the "DRAG". Just a business street that was picked to drive up and down all night. Of course it had the drive in Burger Places, etc. Always had the radio playing with windows down. So the Movie was a piece of AMERICANA. |
