The drive-in movie theater brought together two distinct American
institutions: cars and movies. Since the earliest drive-ins of the
1930s, these entertainment complexes have been an integral part of
American culture. Their appeal stretched to people from all corners of
the country, offering a place for social gathering and various
amusements. Take a ride down memory lane in this entertaining look at
every aspect of the drive-in movie theater: the architecture, the
marquees, the cars, the food, and much more. Black-and-white and color
photos, along with period ads and other memorabilia, provide a highly
illustrated tour from the origins of the drive-in, through its heyday
in the 1950s, its decline, and its subsequent revival.
