That is what much of the FB complaints were about, could be argued it is a modern rat rod interpretation
Must be getting tired, did not particularly notice that Cavalier. What I did notice was that white C-1 Vette Nomad edition, which is a full custom that I think i might have seen in a magazine or maybe a video because the factory, to the best of my knowledge, never came out with a production version, making this one either a refugee from the design studio or the product of a custom fabricator. VERY Nice but probably high zoot in the $$$$ department.
After that, it was that green 69 COPO Camaro, wished there were more pictures of it to ogle, and then the shot of the Falfa 55 Chev beside the Milner 32 Coupe; the actual stars of American Graffiti. Read somewhere that the Coupe was bought for cheap just for the movie and that they threw the speed parts at it to dress it up. The intake is supposed to be very rare 4 x2 edition made by Man-a-Fre, which mfgr only existed for maybe 20? years before going out of business?? I think they actually used a stunt double for the 55 as when it gets rolled over during the race, there is only one tail pipe evident and the street scenes, I seem to recall showed duallies. And then there was that torpedo back two door sedan, think maybe a late 40's Pontiac from the hood chrome. Very neat and detailed paint work for the roof. Trivia.
