American Graffiti Sculpture You've already listed this and its location, but here's a picture. The sculpture is dedicated to the cruising culture idolized in the George Lucas film American Graffiti.
[Joe Boulter, 04/09/2007]A statue in downtown Modesto commemorates the home town of Star Wars creator George Lucas. The statue, depicting a teenage couple circa 1960 leaning on the hood of a car, pays homage to the cruising culture idolized in the Lucas film American Graffiti. The movie's action ostensibly takes place in Modesto although it was filmed, I believe, in Vacaville, Ca (could be wrong on that one).
