These photos of the actual 1958 Impala Sport Coupe from the George Lucas movie "American Graffiti" show that the car is very much the same as it was back in 1972 when the film was shot. Very little has changed. Owner Mike Famalette bought the car when he was a teenager from Henry Travers who was working for Lucas Film at the time. He purchased the car after seeing an ad in the San Francisco Chronicle. Mike has taken good care of the car and has documented all changes made and saved the original parts. The car never did have a "327 with 6 Strombergs" as claimed by "Toad" in the movie.
