    On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago IL on 9-29-22.
    We're looking at a 1932 Ford 5 Window Coupe in Yellow Paint. The car comes with a 350 CI V8 engine, and automatic transmission.
    The car's Owner is John Archacki. John’s had this car since 2015. He shares he likes the movie American Graffiti and saw this car and thought it would be a nice American tribute car to add to his collection.
    ENJOY!

    Nice car for sure. Been very hectic here on the South Carolina Coast this week. Saw the ballon from our front porch, saw it shot down, then watched the recovery from the beach. History in the making...

    "American Graffiti" is one of my favorite movies. The 1932 Ford 5 Window coupe looks totally credible to the one featured in the movie. The original coupe was equipped with a 283 engine rather than a 350. It does sound healthy and roars like a lion with those side pipes. The power trunk lid, and the power windows are an interesting feature. That record album you featured in the Trunk 'n Treats brings back a lot of great memories. My aunt had that exact same soundtrack album, and my cousin and i wore it out. It has some awesome music on it. Thanks for the memories Lou!

    ¡Fantástico éste Ford 5 coupé Hot Rod amarillo 1932 de la película American Graffiti estrenada en 1973! Ésta fué la segunda película del famoso director y productor George Lucas. La placa de identificación del vehículo tiene casi la misma nomenclatura que su primer film "THX 1138". Me encantaron las sorpresas detrás del baúl; como los modelos a escala o el mismo álbum musical. Éso si, el ruido que producía su feroz motor, no dejaba casi escuchar lo que hablaban en la cabina, jaja. Supongo que ésto también se debe a que la máquina está expuesta y sin cubierta. ¡Hermosa la toma final, a toda velocidad, como si fuera un indomable Hot Rod del camino! Saludos cordiales, Lou!

    American Graffiti was such a great movie. I watched it recently after being recommended it by an older gentleman who practically lived through the same experiences in the 70s as a young man himself. As somebody barely out of my teens, I definitely feel an affinity with the movie as well because some of it's really what my friends and I try to do half the time ourselves, at least with the cars.
    If I see that gentleman again I am gonna try to convince him to try and come on your video series. He has this rare, wonderful Chrysler Newport convertible that he carefully repaired over decades. The story about how he got and restored that car is incredible.

    Lou, thanks for tracking down another important piece of graffiti! The THX 138 license plate on the Milner car from the American Graffiti move came from George Lucas's first movie titled THX 1138, a sci-fi film starring Robert Duval.
