American Graffiti Impala to be restored
Not Oldsmobile-related, but this is neat.
Who would have thought that this car was purchased from George Lucas by a 17-year-old for "only" $285 (equivalent to about $1500 in 2016) after the movie was made? Of course, in 1973, a '58 Impala was just a 15-year-old used car, and no one was thinking about what interest there might be in it nor what it might be worth 43 years later.
I remember when I saw this movie for the first time in 1973 as a 16-year-old. I thought it was amazing. I loved the cars, too.
