Reminded me of the American Graffiti cars, I remembered reading (in the 80s) that a guy in Wichita had owned two of them. A little google work found this:

Steve Fitch of Wichita, Kansas bought the Graffiti '55 from Crawford in the late 1970s. Fitch later bought the yellow '32 Ford Coupe driven by Paul LeMat's character "John Milner" in a sealed bid sale from the studio after More American Graffiti was completed. He owned both cars when he and the two most famous cars from American Graffiti were profiled in an October 1983 Car Craft magazine article. Fitch did a meticulous, detailed restoration of the '55 to American Graffiti trim, and is credited with preserving the Coupe in as-is condition from the filming.

Now there's some cool shit! He did end up selling them.

When I was a kid, I remember reading a review automotive journalist Tom McCahill did on the modified Aston Martin used in the old James bond movies. Apparently, all the FX gear added to the car resulted in a huge gain in weight. His summary:

"This car is as nimble as James Bond running down a back alley with a grand piano on his back."

:D
