The destruction of Officer Holstein’s police car is the most remembered and certainly the most hilarious scene in American Graffiti. This scene was filmed in the empty lot located on Petaluma Boulevard North, between the McNear and LanMart Buildings, downtown Petaluma.
After successfully securing one end of the cable to a light pole and the other to the axle of the cop car, Curt and the Pharaohs jump into the ’51 Mercury and tear down the street in front of Jerry’s Cherries Used Car Lot and the cops. As they pass the lot, Curt leans way out of the window, raises his arm and yells, "Stand by for justice!"
I went to a American Graffiti Re-Creation - Cop Car Destroyed, there is a short You Tube Video of it here:
