Robert Frost once wrote that Nothing Gold Can Stay and so it is that we pay tribute to members of the cast and production staff who have made the final turn onto the ultimate ‘main drag’; cruising somewhere over the rainbow. You will always be gold in the hearts of American Graffiti fans everywhere.

Wolfman Jack (Robert Weston Smith)
January 21, 1939 to July 1, 1995

We never had the opportunity to meet The Wolfman, but several Cruisin’ The Boulevard directors have fond memories of listening to him rock the airways way back when!

Henry Richard Travers
Transportation Manager
August 8, 1937 to August 20, 2006

Henry was one cool dude and just loved to talk cars and movies. We met both he and his wife Jackie in 2006 and it was like we’d known one another for years!

Pharaoh Carlos (Manuel Padilla, Jr.)
July 13, 1955 to January 29, 2008

Our Salute 2006 marked Manuel’s first appearance at a car show as one of the stars of American Graffiti! One of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet, we’re fortunate to have his handprints and signature in a concrete block that will eventually be placed in a Petaluma sidewalk.
