American Graffiti "Star"

Del McKinnon, a resident of Marshall, Texas, left for California in 1962 and had the opportunity to be in the movie "American Graffiti." He owned a 1932 Plymouth coupe and saw an ad in the San Francisco newspaper looking for pre-1962 vehicles. He was curious about the person named Bunny mentioned in the ad. Del's car and a scene with a platinum blonde bombshell can be found around 20 or 30 minutes into the movie, filmed in front of Mel's. Ever want to meet someone who starred in a major box office smash motion picture? Well, today's guest didn't exactly star in the picture, but it was a timeless smash hit. Del McKinnon. I am almost a lifetime resident of Marshall, Texas. But I left in 62 and went to California. I had a chance to be in a movie. We're fixing to tell you about the movie. I was in American Graffiti. Our story picks up where Del picks up a newspaper. I was reading in the San Francisco newspaper about a movie that they were going to make and they wanted pre-1962 vehicles. I had a 1932 Plymouth three-window coupe. But I think I was more curious about the ad in the paper because it said call bunny and I wanted to see who the heck bunny was. I don't know if he met her or not, but he did meet the platinum blonde bombshell in the movie. If you're watching the movie on DVD or tape, here's how you can find Del's car and the scene with the blonde. I think it's about 20 minutes, 30 minutes into the movie. They're filming out in front of Mel's.
