OK, I just watched the movie "The Gumball Rally", filmed in 1976 partly in Old Towne Orange.  I thought I would share a few screen shots from it.  :)



These bikers are hanging out on the North East corner of Maple and Glassell at what is now known as "The Filling Station".

This is directly across Glassell on the North West corner of Maple and Glassell.  It is no longer a Texaco station, but an auto repair shop.  This actress is Tricia O'Neil.

This is looking East from the Texaco station toward the Filling Station.  Just beyond that to the right is the First Presbyterian Church of Orange.  This actor is Lázaro PĂ©rez.

Looking North from Maple and Glassell.  Note the old style orange Maple and Glassell street signs on the lampost.  Also, check out the price for a gallon of "Fire Chief" - 58.9 cents a gallon in 1976.  :rotflmao

Looking East toward East Chapman from North Glassell.  The First National Bank is now Wells Fargo Bank.  The Daly Movers truck was from a real life local moving company. The phone number on it is still legit.
