| It
all started back in 1947 when
Mel Weiss and Harold Dobbs built their
first carhop in San Francisco. They
lured the hungry with the local famous
radio personality "Wolfman Jack,"
broadcasting live with music reverberating
through car radios in the drive-ups. |
|
| In
1972, it appeared that Mel's success
was about to end until filmaker George
Lucas was scouting out locations for
his rock'n roll fable..."American
Graffiti." The original Mel's burger
spot came to his attention. |
|
|
| |
| Soon
it was lights...camera...action...all
over again. Mel's was back in business,
immortalized in 35mm. |
| |
 |
Out
on the parking lot, Ron Howard,
Richard Dreyfuss, Mackenzie Phillips,
Harrison Ford, Cindy Williams and
Suzanne Somers took their first steps
to future stardom as we currently
see today. Afterwards, as the bulldozers
razed the last remnants of the historic
Drive-In, the famous movie, "American
Graffiti," opened in theaters throughout
America |
|
| |
| With
the grand re-opening in 1985 of Mel's
Drive-In, once again the kids of the new
era were shown a glimpse of what the "good
times" were really like... long before the
age of video games and compact disc players...how
they first met at Mel's...dated, and ultimately
got married! |
