The film American Graffiti was created around the life that these legends of the Cruise actually lived. These people were both classmates of George Lucas and some of these graduated a few years earlier, but all of them were legendary in the things that they did, the trends they started and the love of cars and downtown Modesto lives today in the classic film and in the stories and legends you will read here. This is just the beginning, you will hear more from the Legends of the Cruise as the Historic
Graffiti Cruise Route gets going. Click on photos for a story from each Graffiti Legend.
