I had an old 1941 Dodge business coupe. I could fit at least 4 people in the trunk, although the car looked pretty low as we pass d by the entrance!. (if you know what I mean)
My selection for best pic in the set is SNACK BAR (next to last one). Speaks volumes.

Nostalgic... reminds me of my childhood. Thanks.
Its been a while since I've seen one of these.
I went to a lot of drive-ins in my ‘57 Chevy back in the day, but I hardly ever watched the whole movie.😜
I remember very well since I worked in one through high school. There is still one open here, about 5 miles from where we live, have been to it once.
Still have one in Lockport, NY.
Neat! My town of Sparta has a drive-in just down the road from me. It is open during the summer thru the autumn. It's been in operation since at least the early 50s if not longer. It's full up every Saturday nite during the summer months.
Thanks for the memories of the times before multiplexes! I remember going to driveins as a child. There used to be a couple within 20 miles of us here in Michigan and we took our youngest to see Finding Nemo and Pirates of the Caribbean double feature. I think that one's gone but there's still the other one just west of Allegan. We haven't been in awhile - mosquitos like the show, too!
Could you tell me where this Drive Inn is?

Come on over to Newberg, Oregon to 99W Drive-In. Most nights an hour or so before the gates open, the line of cars starts snaking down the highway and around the corner at Burger King. When Toy Story 4 opened last summer, the line was approaching 20 blocks long. They packed in as many as they could but turned many away.
Everyone just arrives early, pull out the lawn chairs, and enjoy the evening. Groups like classic car clubs are welcomed and about the only things banned are barbeques and alcohol. We try to support them by visiting the snack bar, especially before the second feature.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Nice set...used to be 5 - 6 of these in our neck of the woods. Still have one!
Hi Lou, These are from three different drive ins, two in Massachusetts, Seekonk and North Attleboro and the other is in Central Falls Rhode Island.
