On this date 50 years ago, the movie American Graffiti was released in the US. I saw it at the historic Varsity Theater in Des Moines with my friend Doug.
I liked cars growing up but this movie kicked off my love of hot rods and classic cars that continues to this day. Cindy and I were fortunate enough last summer to finally achieve our dream of buying a classic car (celebrating 1 year of ownership tomorrow). I knew I had to take "Mary Lou" over to the recently revamped theater (rebranded Varsity Cinema) to mark the occasion 😀
