"American Graffiti car show"

May 8, 2009 - PRLog -- “American Graffiti” a film by Lucas, reflects the days of his teenage years when he felt crazy about speed, stylish dressing and rock soundtracks. Most people assume that the film has been filmed in Modesto, California, but actually it was filmed in Petaluma, California. Lucas completed the film in hardly any time (28 days!!!) and with no extravagant expenditure. Initially Lucas faced some problems and established people from the industry did not show much interest in it. But, it was Lucas’ determination that made him go ahead and finally produce a wonderful film, which grabbed attention of everyone and begged four Academy Award nominations, including for the best film.

American Graffiti salute event for the year 2009, which is to start from 14th of May and run till 16th, has already recorded a lot of registrations and is completely booked. Cars from all over America have been registered for the event. It also gets visitors from all over the country as well as from other countries like Japan, Canada, and Sweden etc. Petaluma’s Salute to American Graffiti is a celebration time, which is completely family oriented with no alcohol at all.  

The event is scheduled to run for three days starting from 14th till 16th May. The first day will start with Henry Travers’ Scholarship Dinner as an attraction, followed by American Graffiti Cruise-in & Kickoff Social at the Petaluma Plaza/Plaza North the next day, i.e. on 15th May. The final day of Salute 2009 is going to be a spectacular show having around 300 classic American cars.
