Could be Two Lane Blacktop. I have never seen it and it is not listed on IMCDB yet, but the 55 Chev from American Graffiti was originally used in that http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067893/
-Here's what the car in Two Lane Blacktop looks like, and here's what the same car (I didn't know that) looked like in American Graffiti. Neither look like this one.
-I think all that chrome trim makes this a Bel Air, but I couldn't find a car like this in the database (there are three pages of '55 Bel Airs, I may have missed it).
-Those seem to be rather big wheels and quite low profile tires, maybe this picture is more recent?
-This doesn't really mean anything, just an observation; the other car (???) appears to have an air dam on the front and has low-drag hubcaps like it's made for high speed runs, but the roof isn't chopped. Hmm.
-Aside: how can we not have Two Lane Blacktop?

Maybe it is an attempt to copy AMerican Graffiti. Also the 55 Chevy that crashes at the end of American Graffiti was prepared for a similar scene in Two-Lane Blacktop, that was cancelled. So there were two 55's used in American Graffiti, out of the three prepared for Two-Lane Blacktop
