Bobbie Tucker: Look, there Kip Pullman. He's so neat. Say something to him when we go by. Curt: What do you want me to say? Bobbie: Anything, I just want to meet him. Curt: Hey Kip, buddy! What's up Kip: Hey Henderson, long time no see. What you been doing? Curt: Nothing. I just wanted to tell you Bobbie here is madly in love with and trembles at the sight of your rippling biceps! (Bobbie pulls the Beetle over) Bobbie: Out of our car! -- Last edit: 2009-06-13 02:01:05 |

Should 300 be part of the model name? |

Yes, the Custom 300 had an annodized aluminum insert, whereas the base model for the entire Ford corporation, the Custom, did not. |

I was driving this car in this scene - though it wasn’t my car! I had gone up to Petaluma with my dad’s black 1956 Chevy (seen in a few other scenes). Some of us were just parked along the boulevard, waiting to be summoned for a shot. For some reason I was chosen to be plunked into this Ford which I’d never seen before. It wasn’t easy. The brakes had a slow fluid leak, so as I tried to hold my position across from the VW, the pedal would slowly sink to the floor, and I had to pump it. George Lucas and the camera crew were shooting from a small flatbed ahead of us. The actor in the car with me was Ed Greenberg, and his memories of this scene can be read at: https://kipsamericangraffiti.blogspot.com/2011/04/speaking-with-real-kip-pullman.html Here’s a close-up of Ed and 17-year-old me. ![[Image: img_4215.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/35949/25/img_4215.jpg) |
