American Graffiti statue

174/365

 

Sculpture of the 1950/60s weekend cruising scene for teens in Modesto and a thousand other American towns. A nod to hometown boy and American Graffiti director George Lucas, sculpted in 1997 by Betty Saletta.

 

My parents were cruising here in the early 60s. My dad was invited to join the Pharaohs car club at one point. My hometown is mentioned in the movie several times (Turlock).
