American Graffiti

[Bill Sampson]

The ONLY thing standing between me and another Vette is a couple thousand dollars. :>) I WOULD like to have the time/$ to do it right this time but I'd have to sell the woodie or the 356. Sigh. You can't do everything. Or maybe sell the stylish beach house and move to a single-wide out in the desert and make crank.

Balls out in the wind: Great expression.

Do I have your permission to "borrow" her for "my" tread? I've never been partial to Falcons but I like the optional equipment on that one a lot

Ok, I got to add my '32. The photo is from '86 and it's outside my house on LI, NY. I just got finished painting it over the winter and was in the process of re-assembly. Boy I wish I still had it!

That was nice, all steel?

[Don C]

Byron,
Unfortunately no, fiberglass. Couldn't find a decent steel body within my budget unless I won the lottery...even back then!

I guess New Years is as good as any time for a stroll down American Graffiti lane. Here are some shots of my dad's (step-dad technically) '32 roadster which was the '57 NHRA B/Street Champion, also known as the Rollin Stone Roadster.

In front of our house:

Family vid at Christmas:

At Pebble Beach in '07




Looks like it's being re-restored, the proper way, with the original frame/engine, etc:


My dad sold it back to Carl Stone for maybe $5K some time in the '70s. For years my parents hid our Christmas presents in the trunk, thinking my sister and I wouldn't look there
