Pics from Back in the Day

This pic was taken on Freitas Parkway in Petaluma Ca in 1983.
Also known as Paradise Rd in in American Graffiti were drag race scene was filmed. It had a checker board start and finish line painted on it then.
Now it’s has a abandoned golf course on it.
I drive through there pretty regularly and can't help but wonder about the golf course going to seed. I thought golfers would spend any amount of money to keep their courses nice. I didn't know about the American Graffiti connection.

My first car and Plymouth in 68. Note the old 60 Fairlane in the garage. That was my Mom's and what I learned to drive in. I think it's overall width was something like 81-1/2' and it had to fit through a 7' wide garage door. It and the door frames had a lot of scars.
