| A pewter replica of Mel's Drive-In produced by the Franklin Mint in the 1980's. American Graffiti, the 1973 movie, was the inspiration for this diorama of Mel's Drive-In. Produced by the Franklin Mint in the 1980's, this pewter diorama measures 17" x 13" x 7". The four classic cars included are the '32 Ford Coupe, a 1956 Thunderbird, a Corvette, and a '58 Chevy Impala. You can see a dozen happy pewter people enjoying themselves. |
