American Graffiti – The Largest Reunion Ever to be Held in London, Ontario, this June at the Country Cruize-In Show
Toronto, Ontario: May, 2010: Rev up your engines! Coming-of-age film “American Graffiti” is the theme of the 7th annual Fleetwood Country Cruize-In that returns to London, Ontario on June 4th and 5th, 2010. Between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM on Saturday June 5th, cruise on in to Mel’s Diner with Candy Clark, Bo Hopkins, Cindy Williams, Lynne Stewart, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, and possibly a surprise appearance or two. Drive up and be whisked back decades in time at a 40-foot drive-in movie screen that will be showing – you guessed it! American Graffiti, which first arrived in theaters in 1973.
This year’s going to be a blast! Country Cruize-In kicks off on Friday, June 4th with a dance under the big top, followed by the drive-in movie featuring American Graffiti. Finish off the evening back in the big top for more music with Brad Rose and Spirit and the Jim Chapman Band.
Tickets are only $15.00 per person for both events.
On Saturday, an ongoing highlight of the car show is an appearance by George Barris – the prolific ”King of Kustomizers” and inventor of “star cars” such as the Batmobile, the Munsters coach, the Monkee-mobile and many others.
In addition to the planned festivities on Saturday, you can tour the new Fleetwood Auto Salon, a 31-car garage, as well as over 3000 classic cars, hotrods, trucks, amphi-cars and more all on the show field. You will never see more lovingly maintained vintage Cadillacs in your life!
There’s even more to this party! Top off the day on Saturday with a casual dinner show catered by Bingeman’s featuring 60’s sensation Lou Christie, followed by Brooklyn Bridge.
A successful charity fund raiser, 2009’s Country Cruize-In event featured some 3000 great show cars, trucks and also 2451 spectator cars parked nearby, with the event raising an outstanding $305,000 for 26 charities. This year promises to be even better.
Come to London, just over an hour’s drive from Toronto, for the cars, for the fun, and for charity, to celebrate the “good ‘ol days” and be a part of the largest American Graffiti reunion ever!
