The American Graffiti Coupe - 1973

Stephen Roullier was a college student in Los Angeles in the fall of '73 and was walking around Hollywood one day taking photos when he noticed a yellow Deuce driving down La Brea Avenue. It made a left turn and parked in front of a theater on Hollywood Boulevard, presumably for some sort of event. Since American Graffiti had it's official release in August, it probably was not for a premiere, but perhaps another event. More than that he doesn't know or recall.

So he shot a few photos and then moved on. He wouldn't see the movie until a few months later, and so did not attach too much significance to the car at the time, other than thinking it was a cool looking hot rod. We couldn't agree more. And here, in all their unpampered glory are those candid pictures of the Milner Coupe pre-legend.
