Two-Lane Blacktop Journey - \'55 Chevy Movie Car Fact vs Fiction For Sale

Two-Lane Blacktop was released without much fanfare in 1971 and in only a few major markets. It was pretty much panned by the critics and went straight to the drive-ins before disappearing almost completely but for an occasional film festival. Interest in the movie was reinvigorated for a short time when car enthusiasts learned that the ’55 Chevy was reused in American Graffiti two years later. The myths about that famous ’55 Chevy slowly grew over the years, fueled by an occasional car magazine feature until an old school rodder who saw Two-Lane Blacktop at the drive-in in 1971 while sitting in his own ’55 Chevy street racer decided to track down the ’55 Chevy and began a multi-year, coast-to-coast quest. Along the way he encountered dead ends, misinformation, and outright fraudsters with primered or black ’55 Chevys that they tried to pass off as one of the real movie cars. This is the story of that quest with the true history of the ’55 Chevys as told to the author by the people actually involved with the movies and the cars. 112 Pages.
