American Graffiti is coming to Columbus. Thanks to Hot Hues Custom
Finishes by DuPont, actor Paul Le Mat, who played John Milner in the
1973 film classic, as well as two replicas of the movie's cars, will be
appearing at the 5th Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion, presented by
SoffSeal, June 15-17, National Trail Raceway in Hebron, just outside
Columbus.
According to Tony Thacker, executive director of the nonprofit Wally
Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, presented by the Automobile Club of
Southern California, Le Mat will be available for autographs and
pictures with the famous cars, a yellow 1932 Ford Coupe that Le Mat
drove and the black '55 Chevrolet 150 sedan driven by Harrison Ford.
"Everyone at the Reunion remembers 'where they were in '62,'" said
Thacker, "so this will be a real treat for fans of American Graffiti
and hot rods in general," said Thacker. "It's another reason to come
out to the event and bring the family."
