American Graffiti by Betty Saletta

The movie remembrance of Modesto's past, "American Graffiti" was created by the noted filmmaker George Lucas, a Modesto native and a member of the Thomas Downey High School Class of 1962. This bronze sculpture, created by Betty Saletta, also entitled "American Graffiti" celebrates the genius of Goerge Lucas and the youthful innocence and dreams of the 50s and 60s. Betty Saletta, July 11. 1997

Although American Graffiti is set in 1962 Modesto, California, Lucas believed the city had changed too much in 10 years and initially chose San Rafael as the primary shooting location,
but the production crew was denied permission to shoot beyond a second day. As a result, most filming for American Graffiti was done in Petaluma.
