American Graffiti Milner 1932 Ford 5 Window Coupe- Chip's Garage Episode 11

[@steveschu]

My dads best friend owned the original 32 and the 55 from American Graffiti. I have pics of me and my dad and the owner on a cover of a magazine.

[@janjones4536]

u remember who it was?

[@oneiam1533]

Is he from Wichita?

[@PhilAVega]

Kansas? I remember the cars sitting in the back lot of the movie studio. I think it was Hot Rod Magazine or Car craft. I think he got a good package deal on them. I was a young teen when I read the story. Very cool✌️

January 1980 I sat in the car on the lot of Universal Studios. Going into Arizona, we found out that the car was for sale. I was 17,on vacation with family, from Canada. Dad said we could rent a UHaul trailer and go back for it. Sure wish we had of. Have a picture of me in the coupe.

This was a fun video. I could be wrong, but this particular rod seems to have been copied many times over, and could be the most copied iconic movie car out there.

[@chipsgarage]

Thank you and you are correct sir! 😎

[@garyjones2582]

Chip i have one question for you, what kind of valve covers are on this 32?

[@chipsgarage]

Old school finned valve covers. Several people still make them. You can even get on Amazon 😎

[@ataxpayer723]

There are some differences to the movie car including the engine, the side headers, the valve covers, the Ford rear end

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

The AG 32 was a 283

[@chipsgarage]

Thanks 😎

[@davidkeeton6716]

You are probably correct. According to the May 76 issue of Street Rodder magazine Henry Travers found the car already chopped but full fendered. It had the 283, and he added a Man A Fre intake a T 10 4 speed and it had a 55-57 Chevy rear end.

[@dboboc]

Nope, 327.

[@roadrnnr2008]

where can I get one built like this ready to go?

[@chipsgarage]

Hard to find now a days. Just do a search on line, you’ll find some!

[@mcqueenfanman]

But a properly set up clutch fan with a shroud will out cool an electric fan setup and your hp loss will be minimal.

[@chipsgarage]

Agreed, really just personal taste, thanks!

[@davidkeeton6716]

Why? It looks like it was built well. Should be just fine for a daily driver. Maybe not on rainy days, just because of the clean up. By the way it's a 5 window.
