Before social media Before everybody had a camera out filming everything People were already cruising these streets. Modesto has had cars in its blood since the 1950s. Long before American Graffiti put it on the map, this town was built by hardworking people who spent their weekdays working and their weekends building, driving, and taking pride in what they owned.
Some things change, Some things stay the same.
The cars might look different, The shops might look different but the passion is still here.
Central Valley roots. American Graffiti history- The Diamond Way.
