I never saw the movie American Graffiti when it came out in theaters in 1973, but I did watch it on television a few years later. While I don’t remember a lot of details from the movie, I do remember being impressed by the cars and the rock n’ roll spirit of the Southern California cruising culture depicted in the movie. I also remember listening to the soundtrack quite a bit on an 8-track player in a good friend’s basement.
This Revell American Graffiti ’58 Impala, released in 2002, includes a miniature figure of the character Toad from the movie. The car has an opening hood and nice details. Toad, however, is not the same scale as the car.
