However, the least I could do was remind folks to be sure to visit a Mels Drive-in next time you’re in the area.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">As long-time blog readers know, Mel Weiss and Harold Dobbs first established Mel’s Drive-in in 1947 and seventy-five years later, it still exists, with four locations in San Francisco and four in Southern California. It is still in the Weiss family, now operated by Colton Weiss; his brother, Chasen Weiss; his father, Steven Weiss; and Gabriel Mendez. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXscf86jGzOSWuEnHwhosm1nnUR23REZPLHCDFVkh2r8Xw91mSZVp7U2lsgI9c3kr3oMILs-OQuzR4UGLWpofQ0PltvJV7tuGdEDg3LzWEd42dX4AnEPbtyZXWJhL-JczBqppwRZgODbHKDz_HGOtJF2n8HgLdoYfXysLctfDS60Df_bbPWKUroyNG/s1200/snoop%20Mels.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1123" data-original-width="1200" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXscf86jGzOSWuEnHwhosm1nnUR23REZPLHCDFVkh2r8Xw91mSZVp7U2lsgI9c3kr3oMILs-OQuzR4UGLWpofQ0PltvJV7tuGdEDg3LzWEd42dX4AnEPbtyZXWJhL-JczBqppwRZgODbHKDz_HGOtJF2n8HgLdoYfXysLctfDS60Df_bbPWKUroyNG/w440-h411/snoop%20Mels.jpg" width="440" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Besides being featured in the classic 1973 nostalgic film, “American Graffiti," Mel's Drive-In was featured in a Snoop Dogg music video and a Pepsi commercial with Doja Cat that aired during the 2021 Super Bowl.

Sadly, he died of a heart attack last May 28, 2022 in Van Nuys, California. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"> Born in Southern Carolina in 1938, Bo began his career by acting in theater and then transitioned to television in the 1960s He garnered guest spots on such classic as The Andy Griffith Show, Bonanza and The Wild Wild West. He made his first feature film when he was 30 years old in the Sam Peckinpah landmark western, The Wild Bunch (1969) thus began an illustrious movie career with roles in over one hundred movies and thousands of TV appearances. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ZzOrJWedWvG_zHvUBexZHy4rgyHJz0_SF3Wv3P9RO6cLj73Q3MOC2pncm-p-Njm_mSXc3HIrKIIjSQKXAlx9ZKylOpFKRUksWihzdzhHDDhqw-Rp2tfP8bRe8QGkj2yytTsEt0T6H5EtCk3-5iIOknpaBp0bUKnEPlXJIpGJsbT7rw9mWm0Ud4U_/s1140/Bo_Hopkins-Midnight_Express-(1978).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="1140" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ZzOrJWedWvG_zHvUBexZHy4rgyHJz0_SF3Wv3P9RO6cLj73Q3MOC2pncm-p-Njm_mSXc3HIrKIIjSQKXAlx9ZKylOpFKRUksWihzdzhHDDhqw-Rp2tfP8bRe8QGkj2yytTsEt0T6H5EtCk3-5iIOknpaBp0bUKnEPlXJIpGJsbT7rw9mWm0Ud4U_/w549-h297/Bo_Hopkins-Midnight_Express-(1978).jpg" width="549" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><h2><span style="font-size: small;">Bo looking badass in Midnight Express (1978)</span></h2></td></tr></tbody></table></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Bo had thousands of roles but Kip's American Graffiti Blog readers will best remember the sandy-haired actor as, Joe "The Pharoah" [purposely misspelt]. His gift for believability is on full display as he subtly inhabits the role of the gang/car club leader in a small town in 1962. He is both intimidating and comical throughout.

All the nervousness I had about meeting the actor vanished as his friendliness, and good-ol'-boy charm captivated me. I asked him specifically about the early years of his movie career specifically the year 1972 when he worked on both American Graffiti and White Lightning starring Burt Reynolds. I</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">n the film </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Bo played a side-kick to Reynold's macho moonshiner. Speaking in his Southern drawl he recalled, "It was the beginning of Summer and right after I had filmed all my scenes with Richard Dreyfuss in Graffiti I immediately had to fly out to Arkansas and join the production of White Lightening. I had been working at night on Graffiti and had gotten used to that and suddenly I'm working in the bright daylight squinting my eyes and Burt would yell at me [laughs]. It was fun and kind of crazy!" </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I also asked Bo whether he knew at the time, Graffiti would become the classic that it is today. [By the way readers, I absolutely hate when interviewers ask that question but I asked it anyway.] He replied in a warm matter-of-fact tone, "Shit, I thought just the opposite. I was just sure Burt's film would be a hit. Turns out nobody remembers it. "But," he added, "That little ol' low-budget film directed by some guy named, Lucas turned out to be a winner and folks like you are still talking to me about to this day!" </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="615" data-original-width="1140" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk9Qth5MkYsrDByz9QKbxKbN1a_6bXc1eZAK1t9ZGAhrWTu5d2TWdf8BRSksFE_NK5OAnp489r2CCLM1zDy7Gn3tcdlxF2Rx5j26xCAxKPz_0fvbHbZWKYvBFkhupKeko1ktavUurfPgh4-OoraniEU3LyukDcCQpo8Te_7LtFTgiVsV4mHAwAEqWG/w548-h297/Bo_Hopkins-Jennifer_Billingsley-Burt_Reynolds-White_Lightning-(1973).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="548" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><h2><span style="font-size: medium;">Bo, Billingsley & Burt in WHITE LIGHTNING (1973)</span></h2><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Bo couldn't have been more right about American Graffiti. It became a box office smash, grossing over $115 million worldwide. In 1974 the film won a Golden Globe for Best Comedy or Musical. It was nominated for several Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress (Candy Clark) and Best Film Editing. It also won several several Best Picture awards at well established events including New York Film Critics Circle Awards and the Kansas City Film Critics Circle Awards. Of course, that's to say nothing of the accolades the film continues to receive from film fans and classic cars enthusiasts to this day.

The yellow,1932 Ford coupe featured in Graffiti was on display.

I was also going to video tape an interview with him and later that day I did but unfortunately, it was erased when I accidentally taped over it to interview his Graffiti co-stars, Candy Clark and Paul Le Mat (which you can find on You Tube). </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span>When I reached the front of the line, much to my delight, Bo looked up and recognizing me he momentarily slipped into his Joe The Pharaoh character exclaiming, "Whadaya doin', creep?" I played along and countered with Dreyfuss's response, "Me?" To which he replied, "No, I'm talking to the other fifty creeps here." He then gave me an sly grin. </span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> I was star-struck and a little nervous and not sure if I should continue responding with lines from the script, A script that I had memorized since I was 12 years-old, no less. However, I quickly realized why I was there and asked if I could record an interview with him later to post on my website.

I must not have seemed like a total “creep” because he asked me to "watch his table" while he took a break outside. I obliged. I remember how important I felt as I sat there in Bo's chair thinking, "Hey everybody look at me, I'm friends with film actor, Bo Hopkins!" When Bo finally returned we chatted some more. We chatted about fishing and some of his favorite authors. He also claimed to be pretty good at painting with watercolors. "Well, my mamma thought my paintings were pretty good," he quipped. It was a wonderful interaction. I still have a 8x10 photo he signed for me. The inscription on the photo reads, simply, "To Mark, Thanks, Bo Hopkins."

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: yellow;">Although Happy Days takes place in the Fifties, Gary Marshall has said that he believed this to be a superficial element.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Underneath this element was the real theme of the series: to explore and reflect on the pain of adolescence.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There were two basic male adolescent pains that Marshall wanted to focus on. The first had to do with girls. This theme was expressed through Ritchie, Potsie and Ralph’s endless search for dates and Fonzie’s female expertise and infinite wisdom on dating skills.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The second pain has to do with “being a man,” standing up for the values you believe in and not backing down or being a coward.</span></span></div>

Finding someone to play Fonzie was a difficult task and involved many tryouts.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>However, one day it looked as though casting an actor as Fonzie would no longer be a problem.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Executive Producer, Tomas L. Miller came to Marshall, “He’s not quite what your image is.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>He’s not that tall, bully type but he can do it with his eyes and his voice.” It was Henry Winkler. The roles of both Joanie played by Erin Moran and Mrs. C. by Marion Ross were the easiest to cast. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Marion Ross was perfect and Erin Moran has worked with Marshall before.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>He reasoned, she was funny before she will probably be funny again. Ron Howard as Ritchie was familiar to Marshall from way back to the “Andy Griffith Show.” In Marshall’s view was that Howard had the amazing talent of representing something very American along with the potential to be funny.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></span></div>

Walker had the catch phrase,<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>“Dy-no-mite!!!” So the writers and actor had to find a catchphrase for Fonzie.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Eventually, Fonzie became attributed to shouting the saying, “Aaayyyy"" and "Whoa!"</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18.66px; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.66px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18.66px; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.66px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: yellow;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18.66px; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.66px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18.66px; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.66px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: yellow;">In addition, as the show continued, Fonzie gained magical powers such as punching<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>a<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>jukebox, pinball machine or other device to make it work.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">Did you ever wonder where Wolfman got his poetic repartee he uses with the phone operator, that's heard over the radio in American Graffiti, as she tries to tell him he has a collect call? You know the segment I’m referring to. Wolfman starts calling her Floyd and then waxes poetically, “Who made the eyes but I?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Floyd, reach out and touch my soul, Floyd!” <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It’s profound and hilarious.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It didn’t come out of a vacuum.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Wolfman didn’t just improvise the whole poem.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>No.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So, where did it come from? Well, your buddy Kip is here to answer that question that's always burned a hole in the back of your pretty little head. What is the poem Wolfman is reciting to the operator that has every teenager listening to his show on their car radio laughing? <span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; margin: 0px;">Wolfman is loosely reciting a religious poem from seventeenth century orator, poet and Anglican priest George Herbert in which the poem has been used to speak of secular love. The poem is called <i>LOVE (III). </i></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #93c47d;">Que pasa? Today's post features promotional material for the sequel to American Graffiti; MORE American Graffiti. The often-criticized sequel was first released in the U.S. on August 3, 1979 by Universal Pictures, six years after the premiere of the original film. The 110 minute movie was filmed with <i>Panavision Panaflex</i> (35mm) and <i>Ariflex 16</i> (16mm) cameras with various aspect ratios. For the follow up Lucas turned over the writing and directing duties to Bill Norton. The Pressbook scans that follow are pages of promotional material created and distributed by the film's producers in order to advertise the film. Often included are various ads to be cut and sent to the local newspaper. For more on American Graffiti advertising check out your pal, Kip's other related posts: </span> <br />

Check out the prolific filmography of these amazing stars as listed on the International Movie Database (IMDB)! Read this and you'll maybe have something to talk about with these talented actors besides the same old tired questions about American Graffiti...or worse asking them "So, uhh, have you been in any movies since your appearance in American Graffiti?" </i></span></div>

<span style="color: lime; font-size: medium;"><i>For example, did you know Lynne Stewart who played "Bobbie" the girl with a crush on Kip Pullman in American Graffiti has starred in more than 50 movies, made more than 64 regular T.V. guests appearances (including M*A*S*H*, Lavern & Shirley, Pee Wee's Playhouse and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia & provided the voices for many, many cartoons characters?) It's true! Candy Clark's and Bo Hopkin's resumes are just as impressive.</i></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">I grew up in Redwood City, CA for the first 12yrs of my life. I recall celebrating my friends' birthday parties at Mels Bowl. I also recall being a horrible bowler. Like most sports I participated in, I wasn't very good. I sucked, to put it bluntly. Being left-handed made it more difficult to learn from others. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Regardless, of my lack of ability, I somehow always managed to have fun when I played. It must be some sort of masochistic tendency I have. So, it was much to my dismay when I read a while back that the bowling alley where I first learned to bowl-badly was no longer standing. Without further adieu, and any more gutter talk lets segue into today's topic: The demise of Mels Bowling and the struggle to preserve a nostalgic piece of history.</span></i><br />

Mels bowling, formally located at 2580 El Camino Real in Redwood City had been a landmark since 1960. In 1969 Mel Weiss sold the 40-lane bowling alley business and it was renamed "AMF Redwood Lanes" but the Mels sign was never changed and it remained an iconic marker for Redwood City before it finally closed down May 8, 2011. Despite the name change, up until its closing the bowling alley continued to be referred to as "Mels Bowl." The building was demolished in 2012 to make room for a 4-story apartment complex.</div>

Goodwin Steinberg (1920-2010) was a master architect who designed the bowling alley which was constructed between 1959 and 1960. The Boicelli family had owned the property for over 100 years before it was leased to Mel Weiss who established and operated the bowling alley for about 10 years.<br />

As a result, the city council studied a submitted environmental impact report and considered Redwood City's Historic Resource Advisory Committee's recommendations to keep the bowling alley. When it was all over and the dust had cleared the building was considered to typify post-war bowling alley architecture but it did not stand out as significant in terms of architectural style. The Mel's bowling sign, however did appear to be significant locally and at the state level as a good example of mid-century Googie sign. The tall freestanding mid-century Googie sign was considered to have integrity in Redwood City. The sign made the listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). Good news! The beautiful sign would not be destroyed. The challenge became finding a more appropriate location for the sign...</div>

<br />
So who is this Mel guy? You may ask. He is Mel Weiss who owned three other bowling alleys designed by Goodwin Steinberg: Mels Palm Bowl in San Jose (built in 1957), Mels Southshore in Alameda (1960) and Saratoga Lanes in San Jose (1959). <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mel Weiss is better known as the co-founder of the famous Mels Drive-in chain. He and Harold Dobbs built their first car hop eatery in San Francisco in 1947 and launched a large chain of similarly named Mels Drive-in restaurants in San Francisco and other large northern California cities.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="555" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMs6DtYUPhTBwX-gr_-Bz7IBqZdfF-G4l5KdATzJLAHUk8RGfqE_tbADLg1-WsEA0MHsqro3iWG6sHETgg8WSHyMGU7UqoelVg-woQP4g92cwKeCs8dvaW6Q-MwJVLN4aP50sIvJjjXF8/s1600/Mels+old+_03_KIP_.png" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first Mels drive-in to be built was located at 140 S. Van Ness San Francisco, CA. The grand opening was December 23, 1947.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The drive-in chain's popularity held sway for a little over 20 years before it started to lose its appeal due to the competition of quickly emerging fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Jack in the Box, Burger King and others. Ironically, by 1976, the first Mels built was the last to be demolished.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="446" data-original-width="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZk9fCilsQ6qLiayqAs6MfOQ4_JkW3HZmYcIhyphenhyphen5NM-KxXqtQ6RMkc-rNuhn5oMUZowGLZ50e5FBjejWKOOdP_Gswgwj-sjMWiozVtP66gucQAlc-BLLLx61Z-YpgiZvPvXU_URiBJ7xM/s1600/Mels+dusk+rare_KIPS.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The 140 S. Van Ness Ave. location had a huge parking lot in front for drive-in service and another parking lot in the back for Mels Grille Room which provided a little fancier experience with valet parking, candlelight dinners and a cocktail bar. This drive-in is probably the most famous Mels location as it was featured in the nostalgic George Lucas classic, American Graffiti (1973). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mel Weiss' son, Steven Weiss grew up parking cars at Mels and later managing one of the chain's locations. With the business still in his blood, Steven Weiss and partner Donald Wagstaff opened a popular reproduction of Mels in 1985. There are now four in San Francisco and three in the Los Angles area with another location to open soon in Santa Monica.</div>

<span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";">Don Orlandi is a famous name to those who are diehard fans of the 1973 nostalgic film American Graffiti. Don painted and assisted in the bodywork of the vehicles driven by the lead actors. Little did he know at the time that these vehicles for George Lucas’ low-budget car film would become some of the most popular, copied and desired cars of all automotive history, particularly, the yellow ‘32 coupe. </span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"> </span><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";">Orlandi grew up in Sonoma, CA and had always had a strong interest in cars. His first job was sweeping the floors for Barsotti's Body and Fender in San Rafael. He was always trying to get the employees to teach him how to paint. Pretty soon he had the shop guys teaching him how to do body work. They were always willing to help a young kid learn the business. Don picked it up very quickly, soaking up the techniques like a sponge.<b> </b> While attending high school in 1970 his father and Dennis Close started Close and Orlandi Body Shop. Don immediately began working in the new shop part time. After graduating from Mount Tamalpias High School in 1971, Don attended Marin Junior College studying Auto Shop for two years while continuing to work in his dad’s shop painting cars. </span></i></span><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";">During his time as a student at community college he had
aspirations of becoming a teacher and sharing his knowledge with others
however, in order to get a teaching degree he would need to take
several more years of school and that cost money. It was not to be. He had moved into an
apartment with his fiancé and was soon working full time to support a small family,
</span></i></span> </span></i></span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";">His
attitude, flexibility and willingness to attempt to do whatever it
would take to complete body repairs caused the Orlandi's shop
to earn a positive reputation throughout the Northern Bay Area of San
Francisco. Before long Don was asked to help prepare some older cars for </span></i></span></span></i></span><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";">a low-budget movie that was being filmed locally, called American Graffiti. Knowing nothing about the film, he agreed to the task and wound up painting a total of nine cars including a '53 Mercury, a '58 Impala and a '32 yellow deuce coupe.</span></i></span></span></i></span> A few years later
he painted over fourteen cars for the sequel, More American Graffiti,
including an El Camino, a Dodge Wagon a moving van, cop cars, two
Chevrolet trucks and several dragster bodies. </span></i></span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial";">Last May, we met up at his shop, Past & Perfect where we sat in two vintage barber chairs to converse. Speaking in a friendly deep voice that is both resonant and clear, Don discussed his early years as a car painter. </span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: Let's go back a bit. Were you working
on celebrity cars before Graffiti?</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: Yes, before <i>and</i> after.
Through the 1970s we were working on many famous people’s cars. Some were
already famous while others had yet to become well known. For example,
David Crosby of Crosby Stills and Nash had this Ferrari that he kept wrecking.
He came to us and we’d repair it for him. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">Another musician, Carlos Santana was a
customer. He was driving an old 1950’s Bentley. It had suicide doors on
it. He drove it in to his garage and had the car door open and it
practically ripped off the door and side panel. So we had to fix that and then
he also wanted me to put a TV set in the back seat. </span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"> At the time he spoke
broken English and it was difficult to understand what he said. Of course
now, he speaks perfect English, [laughs]. As time went on celebrities spread
the word, about where to go and what to do, and of course Henry was feeding us
business too which increased our patronage. We even had the jazz pianist
Vince Guaraldi (probably most famous for composing music for The Peanuts
cartoons). So it became normal to see those kinds of people around.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"> KIP: So you were keeping busy working
on celebrities’ cars. How did you react to all this? Were you star
struck? </span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: I don’t think I really knew the
impact. That was the funny part. At the time it didn’t mean much because
many had not heard of these entertainers because they hadn’t become
internationally known yet. Many had yet to reach international stardom.
Carlos Santana in 1971 wasn’t much-yet. David Crosby was making money, I
kind of knew who he was, and I recognized him. Yet, the fame and fortune
hadn’t quite peaked with those guys. Then George Lucas comes in with this
scruffy beard, you look at this guy and think, and “You’re making a movie?” I
was raising a family in my early twenties and so that was the most important
thing in my life. I didn’t have time to pay attention to celebrities or
trends. </span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">I became the go-to guy in the area because I
could do things fast, I was good at it and inexpensive. One time a very
distinguished older gentleman came in to the shop with a Panther (an English car
built out of parts from a Jaguar) and personally asked for me to help him with
his car. He said, “I got word around town that you’re the guy that can help me.
All I need is someone to spot paint the fenders…but everybody else wants to
repaint the car to match the body work and everyone wants $10,000 to fix it,”
he said. I told him to leave it with me for a week and I’ll fix just what you
want. Seven days later he returned and was thrilled with the
results. I had sanded down just the edges, sprayed the edges and blended
them in so they looked perfect. Rather than clear coat the fenders. My dad
charged him a minimal amount. He was so pleased he took my wife and I out to
some really fancy place to dinner in <i>Sausalito</i>. He was retired and
I didn’t learn his occupation until later when he started telling me about
himself. Turns out he was Milt Kahl one of the early animators at the
Disney Studios. He was fascinating and such a sweet guy. I later learned
he worked on many Disney features at a time when animators were highly regarded
and treated as royalty. He drew Snow White, Bambi, Pinocchio, Jungle Book and
Alice in Wonderland, just to name a few. </span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: How did you become involved with
preparing the cars for American Graffiti? </span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: We became involved in the movie
through Henry and Jackie Travers who lived in Sonoma, CA. Henry Travers, was
the Transportation Manger for <i>Graffiti</i>.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: I know Travers had a lot to do with
transporting the cars to the film locations and keeping them running, he also
drove the yellow coupe in the climactic drag race scene in the film. Did
you know Henry Travers, before the pre-production of American Graffiti?</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: About year after my dad had opened his
shop, Henry introduced himself to us and he began bringing us his personal
vehicles to repair. For example, he had an old van and some stuff he needed to
be fixed so they would come to my dad. Our families quickly became good
friends: My mom, dad, Henry and Jackie Travers. So that’s how we began
the association. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Henry was also a friend with my dad’s first
partner, in the body shop business, Dennis Close. My dad and Dennis Close were
both owners of the shop in the early days, which was called, <i>Close-Orlandi
Body & Fender</i>; located in San Rafael. Henry used to race hardtops;
“Super Modifieds,” they called them at the time, and Dennis Close also
raced. So that was a three-way connection: Dennis Close, Henry Travers,
and my family, The Orlandis. We developed both a personal and professional
relationship that lasted for years. </span></span></span>

Of course, we didn’t have cell phones with cameras back then. So, I

<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: I didn’t paint the deuce coupe
originally. It came to us yellow. So when I was originally going to
repaint it I started off with something that I was spraying in the shop but I
wound up spraying it with something I had on the bench.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: According to a Rod & Custom article
from August 1991, the color was a modified shade of Corvette Yellow, which was
a Daytona, Yellow. While other sources have described the color as a
Canary Yellow lacquer. </span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: They may call it Canary Yellow but
that’s not the correct name of the color. It started off as a GM color but it
has other colors mixed in. There’s no formal name for it. It’s Don’s
creation. People always used to ask me, “What’s the color, what’s the color?”
I guess I’m the only one who knows [Laughs]. But knowing that
information and having $2.00 in my pocket won’t buy me a cup of coffee. But,

door jams were black and I painted them yellow. The seats and interior were
already painted black. It was rough. Nothing fancy. I kept thinking I
want to take this thing out and jump on it. So, I jumped the battery
while it was parked in the shop. I warmed it up; drove around the block and the
radiator blew up. The top seam of the radiator blew apart. So, I had to
call Henry Travers and tell him he better get it fixed before they start
filming. So it was soldered up. That’s the kind of car it was.</span>

banged it up so much, I had to retouch it over many times. They’d chaffed the

quarter panels and all that stuff. It was up to me to try to fix it in time for each evening’s filming. Besides that I had eight hours of work
to do for the family’s body shop. So my dad would say, ‘ Here’s what you
do make up a gallon of paint, we’ll fix the damper really quick and put a coat
of paint on the whole car rather than try to blend it in. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: So you’d repaint the entire car?</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: That’s right. There wasn’t much
to the body. It took a few minutes to take a scratch pad or Scotch Brite
and just scour the whole thing. You just dip it in a bucket of water and
scrub it like your washing a car and then the paint will stick to it.
There’s no wax involved or none of that stuff. For the paint job we just
threw paper over the engine, put some wheel covers on it, made sure the frame
was taped off. </span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: How long did this process take place?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: It only took us about an hour each
night to get the coupe ready. We’d spray it in an hour and it’d be dry in
nothing flat. I would drive it around a bit and then park it in front of the
shop and it would sit out there in the sunlight and let it dry.
That’s the way we did it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: Did you paint the Edsel driven by Cindy
Williams?</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: Yes. We painted it green and
white.</span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">KIP: Anything specific you remember about
that car?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">DON: I think it was a 1958 Edsel Corsair. I
believe we just repainted it and there was some dent work. But I recall it was
fairly Cherry. It was a great car.</span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">DON: We
took the door handles off and did a couple things to it. It had power windows and a keyless entry. I think it was Ron Howard who slammed the driver's side door shut and it cracked the glass. So, rather than fix the glass the window was just left down during filming. We painted it white and I put the red trim accents on
it. The red trim was the exact same color as the Pharaoh’s Mercury which came right off
the bench. I had a can of Maroon paint and mixed a few other colors into the
paint.</span><br />

chopped in a cheap way. The doors were simple, we chopped the top 3 inches down
and the door windows would still roll up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The front glass was a split window that was easy to replace. But the
back glass was huge and had to go somewhere. There was nobody at the time that
could cut that big a curve of glass. Nobody was going to cut it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, they couldn’t quite figure it out. Then
one of the guys came up with the idea to just put the package shelf down into
the trunk area. So they did. They just moved it. They welded it in and then
they put silver tape on the glass to tape off the body. Then they Bondoed right
up to the glass. I was a very experienced apprentice and I could paint
cars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those guys were the experience
body men. I was the one there scratching my head thinking, “Are you kidding
me?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My job was as soon as the Bondo
dried to paint the car. As soon as they were done I was standing there with a
primer gun to just bury the car in primer. Because just about every square inch
of it was Bondo. Then they kept coming up with ideas such as frenching the
headlights and putting a 65 Chevelle bumper in the front. They’d weld it in
there, Bondo it and immediately I’d have to primer it so it could dry and I
could have it ready for the next night so I could sand it and get it ready for
paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The whole turnaround for this
thing was just a couple of days. So we were hauling ass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>

once we had finished with the painting project we had to figure out how we were
going to put a headliner in it. We took it to an upholstery shop uptown. The
owner always had a stubby cigar in his mouth. And he was really obnoxious and
said, “What the hell you want me to do with this, damn thing? I can’t put dingle
balls in it!” My dad said, “Just do something…” So he put the bows the other
way and figured how to tie them up so they would stay. He told us that was the
best he could do. Instead of full carpeting I think he just put down some mats
to cover the floors. I don’t remember if he made seat covers.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> DON: I did
a ton of stuff for them on that film. But nobody ever saw the film.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went to the show and there were like 30
people in the theater [Laughs]. It was like nothing. But to make
it brief, a few of the things I painted were: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paul Le Mat’s ’58 Chevy Pick-up with a camper shell on the back and his yellow dragster with flames. I also painted two other dragsters, one of which
competed against Milner, it had a weird looking flame system on it. And, I painted
the 38-foot Hunt Brother’s trailer with the eagle on the side, which Bekins
moving company had loaned to the crew. The only slight
difficulty I had was with the The Bekin's van. Bekins wanted their van back in the same
condition as they had loaned it out. At the time the technology wasn’t
available to easily remove paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I
wound up thinning out a booth coating, which made it possible to peel off, the
paint design I created once filming was completed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was more work to peel off rather then
paint on-but; I at least I didn’t have to repaint Bekins on the side.</span><br />

around San Francisco in a modified phone truck. We painted that vehicle with a
psychedelic design and added a dome or skylight to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we had a lot of fun and creative stuff to
do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a joy to be part of the
process. It was never boring or monotonous. Creating the colors and making small
modifications was such fun to do. I loved the challenge. They’d come in and
say, “This is what we want. Can you do it?” I’d say, “okay.” So their art
department and I became creative working partners. I loved doing anything
different. </span><br />

you give me autographed copies of all the stars." Thinking these actors would
become stars and I would have something to give my kids. The movie wrapped and

all you have to do is open a catalog book and there it is-there’s your chassis.

Here’s something awesome:
according to a bit of city paperwork, there’s a new <b><span style="font-family: "times";">Mel’s Drive-In</span></b> coming to the city of
Santa Monica.<br />
<br />
A tipster points to this planning<span style="color: black;"> <span style="color: #ffe599;">commission</span> </span>report for Santa
Monica, which points towards a meeting to be held in just one week’s time that
will (hopefully) establish a conditional use permit for one Mel’s Drive in
right in Lincoln Boulevard. It's a nice replacement of sorts for Norms. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ffe599;"></span></span></span><span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ffe599;"><a data-ref-index="1" href="http://la.eater.com/2013/3/26/6461721/norms-and-dennys-doomed-by-new-projects-in-sm"><span style="text-decoration: none;"></span></a>which had
to close to make way for some development.</span></span></span><span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: small;">The 5,352 square foot
property sits right off the freeway on Lincoln in a former orthodontics
business, but carries the peaked roof and wide frontage of a Googie Restaurant — making it perfect
for Mel’s to arrive. Originally built in 1959 as the Penguin Coffee Shop, the
spot could once again be hosting diners twenty-four hours a day if Mel’s gets
their way.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-size: small;">Things are still in early-ish stages, so don’t expect your local Mel’s to
crop up tomorrow. But still, this is exciting news for fans of the small West
Coast chainlet, and anyone looking to enjoy a nice plate of eggs at any time of
day or night. The restaurant will also carry beer and wine, plus seating for a
few dozen out on the surrounding patio. Eater reached out to the Mel’s team for
more information on the opening, but so far hasn’t heard back.</span></span><br />

<i>Hi! Hello... buenos noches? Need a lift? Nice night for a walk? Do you know John Milner? Curt Henderson? Sure you wouldn't like a ride somewhere? Did anyone ever tell you that you<br />
look just like Connie Stevens?</i> Ah, yes, welcome back to another thrilling post of <i>Kip Pullman's American Graffiti Blog</i>. I think every hard-core <i>Graffiti</i> fan has their own little space in their domicile dedicated to American Graffiti, rather it be just a movie poster on the wall, a whole plethora of collectable memorabilia in a display case, or a garage filled with Graffiti-related collectables. Yes, you know who you are. I fall somewhere in between categories. I have many many, signed photos and lobby cards signed by the stars of Graffiti and T.V. 's Happy Days. Unfortunately, I only have so much space in my room to display these incredible items. So its always a dilemma for me as to which ones to put on display I always seem to be changing my mind as to which photos look best on my wall. But for now, I've settled on what I've displayed here. So, this post is filled with pictures of my memorabilia I've proudly displayed on my walls and dresser. Hope you enjoy.<br />

<div class="first-paragraph">
With the classic car show season
rapidly approaching, many Petaluma car buffs are getting prepared by
busily detailing, polishing and fine tuning their well-preserved hot
rods, custom cars and roadsters. Motivated by a rock ’n’ roll
soundtrack, they’re eager to turn back the clock to their coolest
memories of toolin’ town by celebrating Cruisin’ the Boulevard’s annual
Salute to American Graffiti on May 21. And since the homegrown car show
and parade is all about reliving cherished car-culture memories, I asked
lifelong Petaluma resident Jim Bergstrom, a 1958 graduate of Petaluma
High School, about his recollections of that era. </div>
<div class="first-paragraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="Argus-Courier-Bodytext, ragged_ID">
While
you may not recognize Bergstrom on the street, it’s quite possible
you’ve noticed his eye-catching, fire-engine red 1941 Ford pickup, which
he’s been toolin’ around in since he bought it in 1960. His pickup was
also featured in a memorable scene from the movie “American Graffiti,”
shot on Kentucky Street, where Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), encounters the
Pharaohs. </div>
<div class="Argus-Courier-Bodytext, ragged_ID">
The pristine
pickup is also showcased in artist Elise Durenberger’s current
promotional poster for the upcoming event, along with the iconic ’58
Chevy Impala, the ’56 T-Bird, and the yellow deuce coupe from the 1972
movie.<br />

If he ever chose
to, Bergstrom might consider opening a “Petaluma Graffiti” information
booth, or conducting tours of Petaluma’s long-forgotten businesses and
landmarks. Living here since he was 9 months old, the 76-year-old
retired pipe fitter certainly knows his way around, having resided in 12
different locations around town and attended seven schools: Pepper
Kindergarten, Phillip Sweed, Lincoln Primary, Washington Grammar, McNear
Elementary School, Petaluma Junior High School and Petaluma High
School. </div>

He’s been
earning his own spending money since he was 11 years old, beginning with
an Argus-Courier paper route, delivering the S.F. Call-Bulletin for
distributer Clyde Gibby, and helping a veterinarian vaccinate baby
chicks. While striving to become an auto mechanic, he worked for Pete
Maggiora’s Mobil Service, Dillingham Flying A Service, Ed’s (Gerrits)
Richfield Service, Tom Hooper’s Signal Service, Manuel Roche Auto
Repair, Price-Roche Motors, and as an apprentice mechanic for Forrest
Frey. Throw in a stint at Fred Hopkins’ Petaluma Shoe Repair, a
caretaking job on Hopkins’ ranch and two different posts working on
dairy farms, and it’s clear that Bergstrom was always employed.</div>

“I

With
attention focused on Cruisin’ the Boulevard’s parade of classic cars at
the end of the day, Bergstom recalls stories from the good old days
when the sound of squealing tires, peeling out, or “burning rubber”
pierced the calm night air. He’s a throwback to those
not-on-our-best-behavior days, admitting to the time he “just lit ‘em
up” in front of Lund’s Drive-In and left a screaming trail of rubber, a
performance that was witnessed by a traffic cop who didn’t buy his
inevitable excuse of “my throttle stuck” and resulted in a disturbing
the peace charge. And another incident, where he “smoked the tires” at a
traffic light, before looking around and spotting his father in the car
next to his. </div>

In 1960,
Bergstrom accepted a $2.37 an hour job as a pipe fitter at Mare Island
Naval Shipyard, which blossomed into a 30-year career. He and his wife
of almost 54 years, Leslie, were married May 25, 1962, which makes
Cruisin’ the Boulevard’s question, “Where were you in ’62?” an easy one
for him to answer. </div>

<span style="color: lime;">Welcome back to Kip's American Graffiti Blog, my friends! Way back in 1999 Entertainment Weekly magazine ran a fantastic article on American Graffiti. I found the text at the Clovis library about 10 years ago on line. I decided now was as good time as any to print it for our readers. I added the photos myself. I really like the way the participants reflect on their summer of '72 and the way the individual quotes piece together to make a progressive story. I think you'll enjoy this as much as I do! </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">HAS IT REALLY BEEN A QUARTER CENTURY SINCE THIS CLASSIC YOUTH MOVIE WENT TO THE OSCARS?

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In the summer of 1972, a 28-year-old director named George Lucas began shooting a semiautobiographical film about California car culture. His only previous feature--a head scratcher of a science-fiction flick called THX 1138--had tanked. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> With a $750,000 budget and a cast of unknowns, American Graffiti wasn't much of a gamble for Universal Pictures. But it was a gamble that would ultimately pay off big: Not only would Lucas turn his hot-rods-and-hormones cheapie into high art, his film would go on to rake in $55 million in its initial release and snag five Academy Award nominations. On the 25th anniversary of its trip to the Oscars, we asked the kids who made American Graffiti to relive the creation of a pop-culture classic. </span>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Bruised by the failure of THX 1138 and the consensus that it was cold and clinical, Lucas reached back to his youth and came up with a "warmer" story. A car enthusiast since growing up in Modesto, Calif., Lucas decided to focus on cruising--which he later called "a uniquely American mating ritual involving automobiles." </span>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA (producer):
George and I met at Warner Bros. while I was making Finian's Rainbow. He was a student, and he'd won an award that allowed him to go there and watch a movie being made. He became like a younger brother. </span>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">WILLARD HUYCK (co-screenwriter):
I was at USC film school with George. He was just this goofy guy. When George was shooting a scene for THX in L.A., he said, "I've got this great idea; I want to do a film about when we were all in high school, cruising." </span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">COPPOLA: I think George was traumatized by THX and realized that his career was going to be dependent on how accessible people found his work. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span>

But when I heard Universal would finance it and we'd all be given a piece of the picture, I figured, Well, it's the second-best thing. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On Jan. 28, 1973--six months after the film wrapped--Lucas and Coppola screened American Graffiti for a whooping audience at the Northpoint Theater in San Francisco. The evening has since become the stuff of Hollywood legend. In Peter Biskind's book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, he
writes that Universal's Tanen and Coppola got into a heated fight after the screening during which Tanen called Graffiti "unreleasable."
Coppola then reportedly told Tanen, "You should get down on your knees and thank George for saving your job." According to Biskind, Coppola then offered
to buy the film from Universal on the spot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">COPPOLA: Yes, that's a true story. I offered to buy the film...which I now wish I had. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">TANEN: I've never met the man who wrote that wonderful book, but he's managed to quote me.... This has become the most overblown crock of s---ever. They ran the movie in San Francisco, which did not make me happy because I thought it was a set-up screening with all of their friends from Marin County and San Francisco.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">TANEN: My reaction was, "This is a terrific movie. But there are a couple of problems, and here it goes on too long." Things of that nature. I had an unpleasant conversation with Francis.... He just became very belligerent, and I became very belligerent. I'll take half the blame. I don't deal well with bullies, and it got a little unpleasant. But not with George. He was at the other end of the theater.

silly." Ned was sort of taken aback. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">TANEN: The higher-ups at the studio really hated the movie. They didn't get it. But that was the business at the time. These guys were used to running things their way--they didn't need these kids coming in, saying "Hey, man." And now I was in a position of "How do I even get
this movie
released?" because they were going to dump it. They were still waiting for Abbott and Costello movies, not waiting for this or Easy Rider. </span></span><br />

They said they thought people would think it was a movie about feet. So all day we were trying to dream up hokey titles like Rock Around the Block. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">In 1974, Graffiti received five Oscar nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Original Screenplay, and a Best supporting Actress nod for Clark. But the big winners that year were George Roy Hill and his movie The Sting. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">CLARK: I thought it would be a smart idea to run a campaign in the trades for myself. I found out later that certain people thought that was very tacky. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">COPPOLA: I was never a real big Oscar-goer. But
at that point we were approaching a dreamworld because we had made The Godfather and we had made </span><i style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt;">Graffiti</i><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"> and all of a sudden everything had started to go our way after years of really being underdogs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">KATZ: We were like Pulp Fiction that year. We were the kids invited to the grown-ups' party. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">CLARK: I was all dressed up with a boa and I was with Jeff [Bridges] and I remember so many people at the awards coming over to me and giving me so much approval. I thought for sure Sylvia Sidney would win. And when they said, "Tatum O'Neal," I couldn't believe it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">KATZ: From the Hollywood point of view, everyone connected with <i>Graffiti</i> had come up from the sewer. So we were sitting off to the side trashing everyone. And sitting right in front of us is Lew Wasserman [then chairman of Universal parent company MCA]. And he turns around and he
says, "Will you shut up!" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">LE MAT: I was watching the Oscars with my girlfriend, and when George's category came on for Best Director, they had the camera on each of the nominees' faces. And when they announced, "The winner is, George..."
his face lit up with this great look of expectation. And then they said, </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"...Roy Hill!" Isn't that awful? He thought he had it.</span></span><br />

And, trust me, that was not what the world was waiting for. Then I auditioned for the Dom DeLuise show <i>Lots a Luck</i> at NBC. And while I was sitting in the commissary, in walks Johnny Carson. And he said, "Hey, kiddo, what are you doing here?' And I was</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> scheduled to be on The Tonight Show within a week. I thought the reason he wanted me on was my poetry, but he wanted "the mysterious blond in the T-Bird." So I look at <i>Graffiti</i> as the one night's work that changed my life. I'm so lucky to have passed through George Lucas' life...and to have had an extra lipstick.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">CLARK: Out of the blue, before the movie opened, George gave each of us one tenth of a point [of the gross]. <br />
<br />
HOWARD: It was a totally and completely uncommon act. I don't know if anyone's ever done anything quite like that. I guess he had 12 or 13 points, and he took one of them and split it among the 10 key cast members. Everyone had worked for scale, so it was such a wonderfully gracious thing to do. It ended up being over $50,000 [for each of us]. <br />
<br />
PHILLIPS: I still get a check every year. It's not a huge check, but there's nothing like mailbox money. <br />

THE GRAFFITI GLOW
HOWARD: American Graffiti really helped a lot of careers. There was kind of a "Graffiti Glow" which lasted for a few years. We were all in
demand in ways we hadn't been before.
DREYFUSS: The people who are in successful movies are cast. That's kind of a law of nature. It just seemed odd because so many of the actors became familiar and recognizable.
FORD: Not too many doors were opened for me. I went back to carpentry, and didn't really work again until [Coppola's] The Conversation.
PHILLIPS: American Graffiti opened lots of doors that I quickly managed to close all by myself. By the time I was 15, I was doing "One Day at a Time." And by the time I was 18, I was fired from One Day at a Time.
SOMERS: I wrote a book of poetry. And, trust me, that was not what the world was waiting for. Then I auditioned for the Dom DeLuise show Lotsa Luck at NBC. And while I was sitting in the commissary, in walks Johnny Carson. And he said, "Hey, kiddo, what are you doing here?' And I was
scheduled to be on The Tonight Show within a week. I thought the reason he wanted me on was my poetry, but he wanted "the mysterious blond in the T-Bird." So I look at Graffiti as the one night's work that changed my life. I'm so lucky to have passed through George Lucas' life...and to have had an extra lipstick. </style></span></span></div>

Back in 1955 the famous Mels Drive-in was a thriving chain and it didn't look like it would ever stop growing. When a local newspaper ran an article on the famous eatery the co-owner, Mel Weiss (prone to exaggeration) was happy to oblige. Below is said article. Rather than make you strain your eyes and cause early blindness I've transcribed the article below the picture for ya so you can read it in a decent sized font just because that's the type of guy I am. Enjoy this little section of history!<br />

Two youthful San Franciscans have cooked up a delicious
business around the great American institution-the humble hamburger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are the owners of Mels Drive-Ins. The
restaurant chain originated just seven years ago, now sells between 25,000 and
20,000 hamburgers a day. “And, most of those are with onions.” Mel Weiss, one
of the owners declared today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“OUR MEAT
bills run over $300,000 a year. We are the largest users of coffee, ice cream,
and bread in Northern California.” He estimates the 300,00 pounds of coffee the
drive-in chain uses each week makes about a half-million cups of coffee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How much mustard do we use? “It must be
fantastic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We buy in 25 gallon drums”
he said, half amused himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>MELS
DRIVE-IN serves about eight million meals a year now, Mel figures. Since the
firm’s annual sales volume is running close to four million, that means the
average check is 50 cents, he said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
other half of the corporation is Harold S. Dobbs, attorney and city supervisor.
He was 28 and Mel was 29 when the two decided to go into business together on
Dec. 23, 1947.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neither had been in the
restaurant game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mel then in the export
field once got a whiff of the eatery business from his dad’s restaurant in
Denver. “Ours was the first drive-in in San Francisco,” Mel exclaimed in an
interview in the Van Ness unit-the first and still most profitable one in the
chains.</div>

He said the city was “virgin territory” for drive-ins even
as late as 1947 because everyone figured the weather, labor situation and high
rents were against the success of such venture here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We didn’t know any better.” Because the
first unit cost about five times what they expected they had to go heavily in
debt to finance it, Mel explained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“But
we did tremendous business from the first day we opened.” That’s despite the
opening date-only two days before Christmas. And he added, “We did double the
business we anticipated that first month and we have kept it up since.” Mel
confident the chain will have 50 units in the next 19 years, feels there is
still opportunity for the newcomer in the business. “But it takes a lot more
money now.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The average drive-in today
requires an investment of $125,000 to $150,000. He contends it would cost about
$3,000,000 to replace the Van Ness layout.</div>

been in more than 50 movies and TV appearances, and you're an intelligent and humorous actor, but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">American Graffiti</i> seems to have the most lasting appeal. Why do you
think that is? </span>

extremely popular. It is on cable all the time. It lives on television! I’ve
met people who’ve seen it thousands of times. Jeff Beck, the guitarist, is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Graffiti </i>mad. He told me he saw it
3,000 times because he wanted to build a replica of Milner’s ’32 yellow coupe. I’ve
done a lot of hotrod shows since 1999 and thousands of people have approached
me and told me how much they loved <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Graffiti</i>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve traveled to Sweden twice. I’ve gone to Japan and across the U.S. The fans
sometimes get teary-eyed talking about it. Many people have been so inspired by
the movie that they started building hotrods, they began collecting cars, they
went into the pin-stripping business, and opened up custom shops.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Did
you know George Lucas got all 41 songs for $40,000? When the movie came out in
1973, the artists’ careers on the soundtrack were pretty much over with. It was
The Beatles… it was disco… it was a whole different sound. Because of the
success of the movie it rebuilt so many of those musician’s careers. The bands
got back together and started playing at fairgrounds, casinos, all over the
place. So, a lot of people and I owe their success to American Graffiti. </span><br />

thought it was a great script; it was exactly what we were doing in Ft. Worth
Texas: Cruisin’, looking for action, drinking, smoking, and listening to
Wolfman. The rumor was he was broadcasting from an enormous tower somewhere
out of </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Mexico. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His
show would begin around midnight. He had a darker style. He played bluesy,
sexy, down and dirty kind of music<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></b>that you didn’t hear on all the
other white bread American Top-40 stations. Wolfman played the kind of stuff
your parents didn’t want you to listen to such as James Brown, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny
Otis, and B.B. King. He played a lot of music by black artists. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was cutting edge and a lot of DJs wound up
copying him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The signal from the station
he broadcast from was kind of hazy and full of static. You'd really have to
adjust the radio dial just right and it would fade in and out. This added to
his ethereal mystique. There were all kinds of theories of who he was-just
like in the movie. Was he black? Was he a wolf? Was he half animal?' </span>

George. At the time I was really desperate for any part. I hadn’t read the
script. I was told it took place in the ‘50s. So, I dressed ‘50’s style. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had on blue jeans rolled up, saddle oxford
shoes, a lettermen’s sweater.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I put a
high school ring on a chain, and pulled my hair back in a ponytail. I’m sitting
there in the lobby. There were all these other actors there who weren’t dressed
up. I felt like such an idiot. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went into
this tiny little office, it was like a closet. There was only room for a desk,
which George sat behind, and myself who was standing. George was just staring
at me and didn’t say anything. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
very awkward. I knew I had struck out. A few weeks later a got hold of the
script and I told my manger, Pat McQueeney, you have to get me back in for this
movie. She said, “Well, you’ve already had a meeting with Lucas and he didn’t
respond. So he’s not going to see you again.” But, I kept bugging her and she

was dressed up. The next thing I know they asked me to do a screen test.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t as glamorous as you might imagine.
There were about 200 actors over at Dove Films, Haskell Wexler’s studio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very intimidating and you could see
everyone doing his or her screen tests. There were a lot of TV stars there. I
remember Judy Strangis, the star from the series ROOM 222, was there. I had my one scene memorized.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">They called my name and I go into this alcove area. I meet
Charles Martin-Smith and was stunned because he was so much shorter than me. He
is 5’4” and I’m 5’7”. I’m thinking they’ll never hire me because I’m too tall
and he’s too short. I went through the motions of the scene where he tells me I
look like Connie Stevens. So, basically I gave up. But lo and behold, I got the
part.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Years later I asked George,
whatever happened to that screen test and he said ‘Well it turned out black.’ I
asked him, Why did you hire me and he replied, ‘Well I liked what I saw through
the view finder.’ </span></div>

I think the whole
film cost $750,000. That includes music, editing, hiring the actors, and location.
We didn’t have chairs or dressing rooms. If you wanted to sit down you had to
sit down on the curb or in one of the cars. It was very basic. We shot at night
in Petaluma, California and that summer it was foggy and cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It must have been 50 degrees at night, maybe
less. The story took place in one night. But we actually shot the film in 28
nights. </span><br />

time. He was 18 years old. The rest of us were older. Ronnie always wanted to
be a director. I remember he had a short Western film that he had shot with his
brother, Clint, as the main actor. He had entered it into the Kodak film
contest for student filmmakers and he had won second prize. I watched the film
in a viewer where you had to hand-crank it and it was really, really good. I
said, ‘Ronnie, you are going to be a big director one day.’ Several years later
he asked me to be in his first film, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">EAT
MY DUST</i>. I was supposed to be his romantic interest, but unfortunately I
couldn’t fit it into my schedule at the time. He never asked me to be in one of
his films again. I guess he’s still miffed about that [laughs]. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">But, the script was a little too serious. It got very somber
about Vietnam, demonstrations, drug addiction and civil rights. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>In addition, some of the main characters were
killed. For example, a sniper’s bullet kills Joe The Pharaoh</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> after having promised to make Toad, a member of The Pharaohs
once they get back from Vietnam.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, a drunk driver kills Milner. So, I think
the realism upset many fans of the first film. I think the audience was
expecting to see where the characters had left off from the first <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Graffiti</i> and they were disappointed. </span><br />

It’s a classic. It’s on the best 100 classic films by the American Film
Institute. Every so often I’ll do one of these hotrod shows and they’ll have a
drive-in screening of American Graffiti because that really goes with the
hotrods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll watch the film and it
seems like I’m not looking at my actor friends or myself, but I’m looking at
these great characters. I’ve seen it over 50 times but each time it seems like
I’m seeing it for the first time. I forget where the jokes are and they always
make me laugh. It’s very PG, it’s very Americana. There’s nothing offensive
about it. It’s just hilarious. It’s a very funny film.</span></div>

<i><span style="color: lime;">All American Graffiti fans are familiar with the scene in the nostalgic film where Curt is receiving advice from his former high school teacher when out from the shadows pops a beautiful teenage girl asking, "Phil, I mean Mr. Wolfe, can I speak with you a minute?" Recognizing Curt she says hi to him and he acknowledges her, "Jane." It is an awkward moment for Mr. Wolfe because after he has just been telling Curt to go to college, experience life...have some fun we realize the teacher's idea of experiencing life and having fun appears to be dating his attractive underage student. Although the actress portraying the student can barely be seen in the dark shadows from outside the boys' gym, one thing is for sure: she is very attractive. On one hand, one might think of Mr. Wolfe as a lecherous young teacher taking advantage of his superior position over his young student, (after all, doesn't a wolf prey on it's victims) but on the other hand, it might be extremely hard to resist someone like Jane (Kay Lenz) if she flirtatiously approached you after class asking for extra help on a class assignment. Who knows where that might lead? Its a scenario that is certainly not new to literature. For example, the idea of a an older man's attraction to a much younger girl is the subject of the 1955 book LOLITA by Vladimir Nabakov. It was later referenced by Sting in the 1980 Police song, DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME. Well, this isn't exactly a post on morals or literature. What's it all about Alfie? Keep reading and find out...</span></i><br />

Way back in 1967-68 it was the last season of the Andy Griffith Show. Opie (Ron Howard) who would later play big man on campus, Steve Bollander in American Graffiti and Phoebe (Kay Lenz) who would depict Mr. Wolfe's lust interest, Jane in George Lucas's humorously sentimental film appeared together on The Andy Griffith Show in the episode, OPIE'S BAND, 6 years before <i>Graffiti</i> was released.<br />

the ’58 Impala Chevy. They never did use it. I was paired up with a guy named,
Steve Tomasini for that scene. He was 6’ 7” and his father was part of the big
wigs in town. Later they brought in Johnny Weissmuller, Jr to do the fight
scene.</span></span><br />

once Candy Clark and Charlie Martin-Smith had left the car by itself we were
supposed to walk up with a flashlight and check out the empty car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then started to walk quietly towards the
couple and one of us springs open a switchblade. Once we realized the two
weren’t aware of our presence we walked back, got in their car and drove away
with it. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="st" style="font-size: small;">RICK: Well, at the time I had no idea about
movie making. I thought they had their heads up their butts ‘cause it took so
long between scenes [laughs]. They’d shoot one scene and then it would take
them 3 hours to get around to the next one. I thought they would be saying,
“We’ll set this up, move this one here and let’s do this.” But, oh no, that’s
not how they did it. They all sat and talked for a while, drank coffee, and
fooled around. Then all of a sudden everybody got galvanized and away we went
again.</span></span>

people spend most of their time waiting. Often times they are waiting for the
director of photography to announce that the lighting is at last ready and the
scene can now be photographed.</span></span> </div>

in the parking lot at Mels Drive-in. What recollections do you have of being at
the famous drive-in?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="st" style="font-size: small;">RICK: It was fun but we did a lot of waiting
and killing time. Mels was kind of in a Y between Mission and South Van Ness.
When they weren’t using us we parked where the two streets split. I think there
was a Firestone Tires store there or something. We’d back in there and sit
there. We’d have the trunk of my car filled with cold beer and once actor Paul
LeMatt found out about the beer he hung out with us too. When there were scenes
where he wasn’t needed he sat in the back seat and drank beers with us. That
was a lot of fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other times when they
were shooting at Mels and they didn’t need us for anything a lot of us would go
out and cruise Broadway in San Francisco. Once in awhile we’d sit inside of
Mels and watch them shoot outside.</span></span><br />

much percentage in Al driving his car back and fourth every night so I kept the
Cubik for a couple of weeks at my house in Petaluma. Then we’d do a shuttle
thing: We’d take the Cubik down and park it on location and then somebody would
drive us back and we’d bring the other car down. </span></span>

He had all these excuses for not being able to get the car to roll. He’d say,
“I can’t do this, I can’t do that.” He blew it twice. So I was out there
digging a trench on an angle that hopefully he’d slide into and then the tires
would catch on the trench and he’d roll it. I spent half an hour digging this
friggin’ trench and then he drove up there and missed it. So they stopped right
there. That was the end of it. I think we spent two days out there fooling
around and we didn’t get anything done. So, when they came back a few weeks
later to film it again they had a different driver and they finally got the car
to flip over.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><i>Rick Boom was a 28yr-old resident of Petaluma, CA in the
summer of 1972 when he inadvertently became involved in the production of
American Graffiti. In the film Rick was paired up with Johnny Weissmuller, Jr.
as one of the two car thief/thugs who beat up Toad, and are eventually chased
away by Milner. Recently I spoke with Rick about his participation in the film
over the course of several phone calls. Before we chatted I thought Rick’s only
involvement in the film was acting but as our conversation progressed I discovered
that he was also an important member of the production crew as well. What
follows is a fascinating conversation with a friendly individual revealing his
experience working on the Lucas’ nostalgic classic. </i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;">_____________________________________________ </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">KIP: How did your involvement in American Graffiti begin?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">RICK: I became involved in American Graffiti by accident
[laughs]. The local police department was doing security for the movie and I
happened to be friends with several of the police officers. At the time, I was
working as security at one of the local bars in Petaluma and as I was driving
home one night I noticed all these big vans and trucks parked
downtown near Mayflower Van and Storage.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I later learned that the van and storage building is where the cars and filming equipment were stored.
It was also where the cast, crew and car owners ate their meals. </span>I wondered what was going on. I
spotted some of the police officers I was friendly with so I got out of my car
and we started talking. Then this little hippy looking kid came up from behind
me and asked me if I wanted to be in a movie. I said, “Ah, nah, you’re not
sucking me in.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">KIP: So you thought he was joking around or bullshitting
you? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">RICK: I wasn’t sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
it turns out the kid was Jim Bloom the Production Associate for the movie and
he wanted to include my white 1960 Chevy, Impala in the film. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I learned later that white is one of the
preferred colors because it stands out and they can put any other color against
it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">KIP: So you were hired first because your car fit the time
period and atmosphere and not because of your acting potential?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">RICK: The acting part came up later. Jimmy Bloom was just
kind of concerned with the cars. So, that’s when I halfway blew him off. Then
once my cop friends told me he was serious, I had to go back and suck up. I
said, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’ So, he told me where to be the following night and
what we were going to be doing. So naturally, I had to get my car washed the
next day and wax it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">KIP: What basic power features did your Impala have?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">RICK: My car had a stock 8 cylinder 283, a Powerglide
automatic transmission, chrome rims and mags in the back.</span></div>

Fourth Street, which is a one-way street. So the cars would cruise down the
street and circle back. I would stand on one corner and Jimmy Bloom would stand
kitty-corner at the other end of the street. So, one of the drivers would go by
and Jimmy would tell him what to tell me and once the driver reached me he’d

The coupe was made to look good on camera. The camera didn’t know the
difference if it was a piece of shit or a functioning car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One problem I recall is the coil wire around
the coil was too short. So every time Paul LeMat would rev it up the sucker it
would stop. This happened a couple of nights in a row. It pulled the wire off
the terminal with the engine torque. So, we added a piece of wire to it, fused
the whole thing together and made it work. But Henry Travers generally took
care of most of the problems that the various cars might have had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the taillights used to fall off the

suppose to hit their mark on Washington Street. Well, each time they filmed the
scene the black ’55 Chevy would leave that little coupe in the dust. Well, that
wasn’t what was supposed to happen. It was supposed to be a close race. They
tried it three times until both drivers, only going about 35mph, were able to
hit the intersection at the same time. Later they sped up the film so it looked
like they were going much faster. I think the coupe is now in much better shape
than it ever was back in 1972.</span></span><br />

There is a cross-pollination between the 1973 film, American Graffiti and the TV show, which first aired in January 1974. One of the similarities is between Mels Drive-in featured in Graffiti and and the outdoor set of Arnold's diner in Happy Days. This post is a tribute to the drive-up restaurant that looked so real on TV that we wanted to hang out there with the Happy Days gang.</span></span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The association between <i>American Graffiti</i> and the TV series <i>Happy Days</i> is remarkable and the two are definitely linked in some way but not necessary the way most fans think they are. Even though <i>Happy Days</i> starred Ron Howard and premiered in early 1974, which suggests it was inspired by the success of <i>American Graffiti</i>, it actually pre-dates the film, and was as an unsold TV pilot in 1971. ABC aired it in February 1972 as part of the weekly anthology series <i>Love, American Style.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">After <i>American Graffiti</i>‘s success, and with the popularity of the Broadway 1950’s style stage hit, <i>Grease,</i> ABC regained interest in the <i>Happy Days</i> pilot and authorized a series. The show, created by Gary Marshall, presented a romanticized vision of life in 1950s and early 1960s America. The earlier episodes revolved around Richie (Ron Howard) and his friends, Potsie Weber (Anson Williams), Ralph Malph (Donny Most) and local dropout Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler) who hung out at Arnold's. The drive-in was the favorite after-school hangout for Richie, his pals and other Jefferson High School students.</span> <br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There was no direct spin-off between <i>Happy Days</i> and <i>American Graffiti</i>, but ABC clearly wanted to remind people of the movie. “Rock Around the Clock,” which opened <i>American Graffiti</i>, was also <i>Happy Days</i>‘ theme song for its first two seasons, and even used the same neon style font in its credits. In addition, Arnold's drive-in resembles Mels drive-in featured in <i>Graffiti,</i> as both were the hub of the gang's activities and the place where the kids in both the film and TV show converged.</span><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>

Arnolds throughout the 10 years that the show aired. Matsuo Takahashi “Arnold”
(Pat Morita) was the crazy, irritable owner of the diner for the show’s third
season who also managed the restaurant and flipped burgers for the local teenagers. Arnold
later sold the restaurant to a good-natured, easy-going Italian-American named Al
Delvecchio (Al Molinaro) who retained the name of the restaurant. Later
in the series, "The Fonz" became Al's business partner at Arnold's
Restaurant. </span><br />

-</style><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
outdoor scenes were incredible and really gave the show an authentic feel of
‘50s teenage life. One can see various teens parked and eating in their cars or
two lovers making out in the background. A typical scene might include Ralph
driving into the parking lot in his hot yellow 1929 Ford Roadster Pickup or
Fonzie lying across his motorcycle as a young woman files his nails. Carhops
were seen interacting with the patrons, and many teenagers passing by as rock
and roll blared from the diners’ outdoor speakers. </span><br />

probably made filming outdoors in the parking lot of Arnold's pretty simple. We
know the drive-in’s exterior was a dressed area constructed on the Paramount
Studios back lot supposedly near Stage 19 where the rest of the show's indoor
sets were located. However, astute fans had probably noticed the
surrounding exterior backgrounds of Arnold’s were not consistent from week to
week. </span><br />

On the other side there appeared to be a tall apartment building(s) mixed in with really tall homes that had Spanish style roofing. Other times there is no wall but a tall grayish stucco building with a sign that reads "All American Frozen Foods." There is also a large neon EAT sign to the
right of the interior entrance of Arnold's whose position changes height and locations
throughout various episodes and bushes below the sign that disappear and
re-appear. </span><br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So what’s with all the changing scenery? Perhaps the Arnold's set was
torn down when they weren’t using it. Then when a particular episode called for
an outdoor scene at Arnold’s the set was re-constructed on a random part of the
Paramount back lot that wasn’t being used at the time. Hey, as my friend Jeff says, Rumors have to start somewhere.</span>

It was easier for many of the the cast to use bicycles to get around the Paramount back lot. This may explain the seeming surplus of bikes at Arnold's. They were transportation and unlike golf-carts they didn't have to be hid from the camera.<br />

An
atmosphere of fun and action was conveyed in the exterior settings at Arnold’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, by the third season the
producers made the choice to shoot the TV sitcom indoors with 3 cameras, in
front of a live studio audience so filming outdoors no longer became practical.
Once Happy Days moved to an all-indoor set the TV show lost something
important... a little magic that the series would never regain.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The later seasons shamelessly recycled a few

<i><span style="color: lime;">Incidentally, anyone who has an American Graffiti related event and would like to have the two most popular cars from the film on display: 1.) Falfa's '55 black Chevy and 2.) Milner's '32 yellow Ford coupe the owner of these movie tribute
vehicles, Jeff Zastrow just might be available to hook you up. Jeff has been known to display
his sweet rides in the past for a minimal fee. Sometimes as little as the cost of expenses for
travel and lodging. That's it! </span></i><i><span style="color: lime;"><i><span style="color: lime;">"It's not about the money,"Jeff said, "It's all about the excitement on people's faces when they see these cars." These are
real racers. They weren't built just to look pretty. </span></i>Imagine having these two cars at the
next grand opening of a new The Original Mels, or special event at a car show, or the next showing of American Graffiti at the theater of
your nostalgic event. Okay, you get the picture.</span></i><br />

<span style="color: #ffe599;">WAS FALFA BEATING MILNER???? Whether Falfa would have won the drag race in American Graffiti may be pure speculation. In the film it looks like the cars were neck in neck and Milner was starting to take the lead when Falfa's car began to run off the road. It’s ambiguous at best. The original rough draft (dated May 10, 1972) script reads, "Falfa's engine is winding incredibly and he begins to get the edge on John. The cars rocket through the dawn light along the flashing white<span class="text_exposed_show"> line until Falfa's car hits the shoulder, his front wheel slips off...etc." So in the script it alludes to Falfa taking the lead at some point. However, things look different in the actual film where it looks to me like Milner is gaining on Falfa BEFORE Falfa hits the shoulder. But ultimately, the fact that Milner was winning is given credence by the actor who played Milner, Paul LeMat. When I spoke with actor, Paul LeMat he said that Milner <i>was</i> winning the drag race and he was told to pretend like he thought he lost. “He’s convinced he was losing the race,” said LeMat. “That’s not the fact or the way we were suppose to film it. Here I was thinking I lost the race but it was obvious to other people like Toad that I wasn’t losing the race.” I asked LeMat, Was Milner winning the race? He responded emphatically, “YES.” "But, I was supposed to act like I thought I was losing. I remember,” he continued, “that I tried to work it out without making him look insane that he was sure that he thought his time had come. Like he has obsessed about it so much. The race was so close that that was it for him. That was bad enough. That was worse. ‘I lost it, I lost it!’ LeMat compared it to a boxing match. “It’s similar to a fighter who wins a whole lot of fights and then he just BARELY wins one. He thinks, oh, my God! Did I lose it? I didn’t knock the guy out and he was beating me up. The other times it was so much easier. LeMatt said I still don’t think that scene works ‘cause I get people [fans] saying to me all the time, ‘You won the race what were you talking about?’ So there you have it: MILNER WAS WINNING! Now, go home and get your shine box! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Last weekend I headed up 101-North in California to Novato’s Nostalgia Days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The annual
event, run by </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Marv Giambastiani, included a Friday night cruise with about 200 custom cars “draggin’
the main.” It was so cool. To me the directions for the circuit were slightly confusing and made so many lefts and rights that I
almost got whiplash trying to follow the action. I mean that in a fun way of
course. Fun with a capital, "F." Saturday there were plenty of sweet rides and custom machines on
display. Bands played ‘50s style rock and roll as a backdrop to the many spectators walking around checking things out and others who sat in the cool shade on the
patios of various restaurants on Grant Street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s always fun to attend events such as these because I get to see a
lot of friends, many of who own a car or two on display.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year was no different. Two of the major
attractions of the show were the American Graffiti Dream Team, which consists
of dedicated hot rod builders who have meticulously cloned many of the major
rides featured in the original 1973 movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They’re all a great bunch of guys. The other attraction was Candy Clark.</span></div>

Graffiti had come to the event so I arrived with my arms filled with
memorabilia that I wanted her to sign. I was hoping we could chat for a bit too. I've met Candy before at several hot-rod shows and have always enjoyed talking with her. She is intelligent, down-to-earth and has a wonderful sense of humor. Unfortunately, I arrived a bit late due
to car problems and as I was looking for the booth where Candy Clark was
located my friend, Jim Bergstrom said, "You just missed her, she’s taking off!” </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"> But, having
no shame and wanting desperately to say hi to the actress, I ran after the van
shouting “Candy!” Luckily the driver, Ron heard me and braked, stopping the
vehicle.This prevented me from making a spectacle of myself. In other words I
didn’t have to try grasping onto the bumper and have them drag me through town
as, I shouted out the actresses’ name just to get them to stop. Candy recognized
me and playfully said, "You got here late." I asked if she could sign some Graffiti memorabilia. She asked, “How many things do you have?” I had about 14 items that I’d brought for her to sign including an original poster, a couple of DVDs of her movies and a press kit but not wanting
to delay her plane trip I sheepishly said “Three?” She graciously agreed. And, soon she and her
entourage were back on their way to the airport. Someday I’m going to have a
room specifically filled with American Graffiti posters, lobby cards, etc.
signed by Candy and other Graffiti stars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Someday. But wait, there's more to our fun filled story so keep scrolling. </span><br />

standing there half way in the street recovering from my star-struck state, after having interacted with Candy, when Jeff Zastrow, the owner of the
32 Milner Coupe and 55 Falfa Chevy clone, nudged me and asked, “Hey you want to do
something fun? I replied, “What’s that?” thinking he was insinuating dinner
with the group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You want to drive the
yellow coupe?” Before he could finish his question I blurted out, “Yeah!” “Okay,
said Jeff, “you can drive it back to the hotel. Just follow me, I'll be driving the black
Chevy.” Sure nothing to it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At first I
stalled the engine a couple of times but eventually I got the hang of it and
before I knew it,<i> I</i> was “John Milner” cruising through the small town with
people waving at me. Damn, where was my pack of non-filter Camels when I needed
them? </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"> I continued to follow the black 55 Chevy, Jeff was driving. Once he took a left on Redwood Road Jeff picked up speed and I followed in
pursuit. We were rallying along the long stretch of road with the engines blazing
and cars moving out of the way for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I remembered earlier Jeff had said that the Coupe had enough power that the front end
lifts up off the ground if you accelerate fast enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well once we came to the first stoplight I just had to see if he was
right. He was. The torque was amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For about 5 miles I got to test out an astounding car with the engine winding incredibly and live a little bit
of a dream that I’ve had since 1974 when I first saw American Graffiti in the
theater with my sister, Kary and my dad in Woodland California. It was truly
bitchin! Thanks to Marv, Jeff, Ken, Jim, Candy and everyone else for a great
