Title: African American Comedy Car Wash Lobby Card Archive, 1976
Author: Car Wash
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1976. [African American] [Film & Entertainment] African American comedy on the Black working class Car Wash lobby card archive. 8 colored A4 lobby cards printed on the same perforated poster sheet measuring 33" x 23", each lobby card measures 11.7" x 8.25". Lobby cards were issued by Universal Pictures to promote the 1976 ensemble comedy Car Wash, directed by Michael Schultz. Set over the course of a single day at a Los Angeles car wash, the film follows a vibrant cast of characters-workers and customers alike-through a series of comedic and poignant vignettes. Infused with a dynamic soundtrack by Rose Royce and a laid-back, funky aesthetic, Car Wash is widely recognized as a cornerstone of 1970s Black popular culture. Car Wash was groundbreaking for its time, offering a rare mainstream depiction of working-class African American life that celebrated its characters' humanity, resilience, and joy. The film stood apart from the grittier themes of blaxploitation films by portraying Black life with warmth, humor, and dignity. Its ensemble cast included a mix of seasoned performers and emerging talents, and the film's loose, almost improvisational style gave space for authentic voices and expressions. Director Michael Schultz-one of the few Black filmmakers working in Hollywood at the time-crafted a movie that resonated with diverse audiences while affirming Black cultural presence on screen. Beyond its cinematic charm, Car Wash became a cultural touchstone thanks to its iconic title song by Rose Royce, which became a chart-topping anthem. Together, the film and its imagery remain emblematic of a transformative era in American cinema, when African American stories began breaking through into the mainstream with a new sense of pride and style. Overall very good condition.
