Any one remember Car Hop food trays, Hanging dice from mirror, the Hula Girl. Anyone have some favorites - add some pictures.

Gene’s Root Beer in Anderson, Indiana, and B&K Root Beer in Alexandria, Indiana, still have car hops. They've both just opened for the season.
Gene’s is usually so busy that it’s hard to find a parking space, and it has a big lot. They both have been in business since the ‘50s. Gene’s is still run by the same family.

Nice shots rusty! Is the first one a Chevy Impala?
I'm pretty sure that it is a 1959 Impala, the one that had the huge gull-like fins.

I was a "Stake & Shake" Car Hop in the early 60's where I would work nights after school. I earned $2.00 a night plus my tips. We stood outside regardless of the weather and many times I swam the food and drinks out to the cars. The older teenagers were the worst for they would order a soda and sit there the night long and if they did leave a tip it was just a bit of change that they would put in the bottom of the glass with a bit of the soda still in it.
Oh yeah, I remember those days.
