MY FAVORITE GROWING UP MOVIE OF ALL TIME 😎... AND THE MUSIC WAS EVEN BETTER ❣️👍
A winner no doubt, never gets old only older
@@samspace81 SAM, IT ONLY GETS BETTER 👍☘️
love that :)
Yes 👊 💯
I watch that movie at least once a year for the last 50 years!!!
California is a fun place to visit, but I'd never want to live there.
👍 🏄♂️ 💰
Depends what area. Nortern California near Oregon is good.
I grew up in Modesto. Just moved to SC last summer. I don’t miss the cesspool it turned into, but I miss how simple and beautiful my hometown was 30 years ago.
@@RachelLovelace Modesto really took a hit from the meth and heroin and fentanyl. It's all bad now. I haven't been there in about six years and it was all bad then too.
One of the grooviest classic car and truck shows and parade I have ever seem.
Loved the movie, and LOVE the cars! Looks like a really fun event.
Really great show! Loved American Graffiti! The vehicles were all great! So many Chevys, Impalas , the ‘58 Impalas were great! The early T-birds were great! Thank you Sam, I really enjoyed this show a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend, yes one of a kind and tons of Chevys!
Yeah needs more Fords after all Fords for the most part started with the flathead cars that started the hotrod industries
My neighbor in Modesto (before we moved) used to have his Impala club buddies come over for parties often and the street would be lined with the most stunning Impalas. I definitely found an appreciation for them over the years. In fact he’s in the first seen rolling down the street in the red convertible Impala.
i like your piano music real relaxing while looking at cars
Noted, appreciate that Ed
THANKS 🙏 Sams FOR YOUR VIDEOS 🙏
GOD BLESS YOU
Thanks for your support and kind comments! Gotta love the Modesto California Graffiti show
@@samspace81 How many car shows are there in the US every year? I'm in Canada and would love to go down and see some. I'm 72 and know what muscle means. Thanks and rock on
Now that is the true American peaces of art. All of the ladies look very beautiful.
I appreciate you watching 👀
Thew movie came out in 73 so I assumed it would be in 2023. I spent 4 yrs restoring a T-Bird so I could be part of this event. Waited all my life for the v0th. So what do they do? They throw this event in 2022, 50 yrs after FILMING the movie and I MISS IT by one year!!!! It would have been nice to be told about this!
David, this is an annual show in Modesto, California, the American Graffiti festival every June. This was my first year attending and covering it, a friend with a yellow Deuce told me about it. I appreciate your viewership and please bring the T Bird to Modesto in 2024! See you there 👍
You're like Newman when he invited everyone to new year's Eve party 2000 going into 2001 and not 1999 going into 2000. Totally lame dude.
Very beautiful amazing perfect cars beautiful amazing colours thanks friend good morning
Appreciate you Keith 💯 happy you enjoyed too
The copper colored truck Ford is beautiful .

I'll bet I've watched this movie Seventy Times it's nice to see all the cars and kind of sad in a way to the world's certainly was a much better place back then

It's a pleasure and honor to share
Great tour Sam!👏👏❤
THE CLASSIC CARS GOT TO BE ARE THE BEST FOR A SPECIAL OCATION!🎉🎉
from Japan. Great car show!
I love American Graffiti movies! I love old American cars. Great condition! Excellent mechanical V8 sound!
Yes, great times and show. I appreciate your viewership and time to comment 💯
I started high school in the Fall of 1955 and graduated in 1959, it just didn't get any better than that. I took my twin boys to see American Graffiti and they asked me if that's how the fifties were? I told them that pretty much nailed it.
❤️ Bless you and your boys. Thank you for commenting. You're my kind of viewer and the reason I do what I do. I'm here to record the best of times and take you there
The funny thing is, American graffiti was filmed in Petaluma mostly, with some of it in San Rafael. I was actually in the cruise in a car I had at the time. Or was that the second one. hmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks so much Gary 🙏 ❤️
Petaluma
Yes the best ❤
One could certainly say that about this show, appreciate you Rick!
Thanks for another great one, Sam. Enjoyed some beauties here, great work!
Appreciate you 💯 Dwayne!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for checking it out @leightonfarms4962 and taking time to comment! California dreamin
That yellow coupe is amazing! Thanks for sharing. This video must of took a long time to edit. Appreciate you.
Really appreciate that! Great car for sure 👍
The best ever built
Really enjoyed your video thanks for sharing! John Milnar is smiling down on this!
Great movie great cars and awesome music. It don't get any better.
Hi Sam . As usual , too much to pick a favourite but my goodness that Model A with Arden Heads at 18.22 was magnificent in it's modesty and when that hot rod appeared at 54.12 l guessed right away it wasa Buick straight 8 ......not bad for a Brit ! And who doesn't love a Buick Riviera , especially with air ride ! Thanks Sam
This is surely one of the better ones I've done! Really enjoyed it personally. Thanks John
tremendous ! nice cars ! (American Graffiti was more than a movie.)
Yes ❤️
Awesome
AND THEY AL ARE C.A.R.B. APPROVED
You better believe it 💯
Nice job! I was there and had a great time. Caught a glimpse of my Camaro in the vid. 🎉
Happy you did and glad I caught some of it! What part?
uma.Boa.tarde.um.a.Brasso.tenkio.🤗🇺🇸🤗💓🌞
Appreciate you @Andersoncachoeira6084
The movie was filmed in Petaluma California about 200 miles north of Modesto
Yes I will have to 🎥 there. Appreciate you watching and commenting
They have a 3 day event and cruise on the same streets that movie was every may the actual cars show up and some of the stars of the movie
Love it thank you
Great job Sam 👍
Appreciate it Todd I slowed down and got a quality edit done 👊
excellent
Many many thanks
Nice to see a video from someone who knows how to do it! Great job!!
Great Great job and i maybe could have done a little better but I seriously doubt it no just pulling your chain Sam you should be in Hollywood
My.faverit.cars.my.faverit shows.my.faverit.songs.i.like.it.all.
i love this. hello from canada
Wonderful, appreciate you
It's a shame nobody showed up....Ha ha, nice work Sam.
💯 😃 👍 @3602go
Excellent video love to see more of these 👍
These are happy cars🥳😉😎🐦❤️
Timeless '54 Hudson Hornet (?) at 21:03 great app restoration!
❤a neighbor had that exact
color in a 2 door....
Absolutely loved that bumble bee black and yellow color scheme used on the two tone 55 and 56 Fords. One of the best two color schemes ever IMO. All of the two tones were fantastic and beautiful. Back then cars and trucks were unique and had personality. You could glance at them and instantly know make and model. Today they are ugly and unappealing and if not for the badge you couldn't tell many of them apart.
Such a great show
Lot of great cars! Hard to believe the Pharaohs are there and nobody has a chopped 51 Merc! No replica of Falfa's 55. The best replica of Milner's car is the one with plate THX 1380. Great movie! Thanks for the video.
It's a pleasure Doug I agree with all of this ❤️ 💯 I'll be back in 2024 and be watching and 🎥
@@samspace81 I grew up in So Cal (San Gabriel Valley) in the late 60's and early 70's and we used to cruise Whittier Blvd. Spent a lot of time going up and down Sunset or Hollywood Blvd, too. Made it to Van Nuys Blvd once. When I was in the Navy I was stationed at Mare Island and went over to San Rafael (where most of AG was filmed because Modesto wouldn't allow it!) and cruised there, too. Thanks again!! Oh, forgot to mention that the soundtrack to that movie was just the best!
Great video as always 👍🇺🇸 job well done
Thanks Manny, it's good to sse you and I appreciate the comments 💯 👊
Hello 👋
Welcome! Thanks for tuning in, enjoy the footage :)
Hey!! My hometown. We moved away last year to SC because it got so bad. They stopped American Graffiti for years because of the gang activity at the event. I’m glad to see it’s back in action! And there’s my old neighbor in his red convertible Impala in the first scene!!
Thanks so much for watching. I really enjoyed the show
NICE!!!😊
Thanks! 😄
I should move to Modesto
That means my video communicated a good time and that makes me happy. Thank you for commenting
Reminds me of the Chelsea Cruise back in the 80’s
Wooouuuww
Many thanks
Great vid just subbed to you love these kind of events ….
It's an honor I appreciate you 💯 enjoy Samspace81 ❤️
Beutifull 🏆
Thank you 💯
Look at that G-R-E-A-T 1970
GTX at 3:03!!!!! Tor red w/ hood graphic....a Hemi would be too much to ask for.....still, one of the absolute Heights in the history of MOPAR.....
Pegasus blue hilarious
I knowest they brought out a lot of 1958 impala probably making a tribute to American Graffiti
Really enjoyed the show
T birds 🐦 are great looking cars 🚗 and way ahead of their time and the yellow Ford coupe needs 😀 much bigger rubbers on the backend, and a Ford engine like a flathead or 312 power just saying 😀
Thanks 👍

Calis not so bad after all 🛻💨😬

i have drove on hills where there was no roads

أجمل سياره في العالم شفروليه 57 ،، شفروليه 63،، واوسع سياره شفروليه 66، وهكذا رحم الله لويس شفروليه
Most beautiful 😍 are the Ford vehicles they always mostly had the eye appealing vehicles and that is the reason so many older Ford vehicles are used 😀 like from the 30 ts on up to the 2023 tes Mustang sss have them all beaten in styling and horse power 🔋 😀
Tell us more about the motors!
I will, thanks WallyRandall-qb6xk 100
49:18 Never mind, it was just one of a very few remaining 1956 Furys on Planet earth you skipped in favor for one of a Billion Camaros, that actually do Not belong to a (pre 63) American Graffiti Celebration
And that '69 Tor Red? or Vitamin C (?) roadrunner
is also great Mopar Culture
RIP CINDY WILLIAMS AND SUSAN SOMERS
🙏
I wanted Bo Hopkins to sign my dash....but now he is gone. So sad.
🙏
RIP BO HOPKINS

Tem uns carros top, Mas também tem uns caverões que eu não queria nem de graça kkkkkkkkkk.
At like 43:48
i want one for me an my baby
Appreciate your comments & viewership Mike
You know the movie says "Where were you in 62"...maybe they ought to limit to cars 1962 and older....
Tough to do in 2024 I'm sure they like to welcome all classic car enthusiasts and support our gas car culture 💯
Not as good as The Dream Cruise in Detroit.
I love em both, you aren't wrong but this one has a totally different vibe in itself. I appreciate you
0:01 ` "FAROS"?
Seriously?
It's "Pharaohs".
Learn to spell.
Check the plaque in the Merc's rear window
It's another club with a quirky spelling 👍
Great, but too many post 1962 cars
There's a big difference between old and classic!! Too many wannabes?
??? Plenty of old iron but don't see as many 20s through 40s AACA classics these days on the road. Appreciate your viewership
@@lydiaAnderson-yv3tc Not bad, for an old fool???
Gas at 6-7 a gal how can you afford it….
How can you not? It's a special event and people are enjoying their lives. These aren't daily drivers. Thanks
@@samspace81 I. Was slamming on CALIFORNIA EPA / HIGH GAS ⛽️..I LIVE IN MICHIGAN..WOODWARD CRUISE 2 MILLION MAN BACKUP AND TRAFFIC JAM
Another pathetic showing for Tesla and the E.V. crowd!!🤣🤣🤣
Where is the original milner car??
