Welcome to the Two-Lane Blacktop Home Page, home of the surviving original Two-Lane Blacktop '55 Chevy built by Richard Ruth for the 1971 movie directed by Monte Hellman and starring James Taylor, Dennis Wilson, and Warren Oates.

 The surviving original Two-Lane Blacktop '55 Chevy on location in 1970.  Outfitted with camera platforms, it was used for filming the scenes of the car's interior for Two-Lane Blacktop and then sold by Universal Studios.  Another '55 built for Two-Lane Blacktop was used for filming exterior shots of the car, reused two years later as Falfa's Field Car in American Graffiti, and then further customized by a subsequent owner until little of the original car remains.  A third '55 stunt car appeared briefly in some exterior shots in Two-Lane Blacktop, was rolled over in American Graffiti, afterwards sold for salvage, and later crushed)
