Hot Girls, Hot Food, Hot Cars

Hot Girls, Hot Food, Hot Cars
(The car: 1939 Ford Cabriolet)
The drive-in, like the hot rod is a uniquely American Idea. From there beginnings in
the teens and twenties until they began to fade away in the sixties and seventies.
The drive-in was the perfect expression of our youthful relationship with cars, in a
youthful car commerce paradise. Many featured, flashy architecture, trimmed in miles of
neon, cute carhops, and the aroma of hamburgers and French fries. All designed to lure
you in. The drive-in beckoned teenagers of all ages for generations. In the 1950's and
60's the drive-in was the teen hub of activity. It was the place you cruised to meet
chicks, find parties, and to show off your rod. Beyond all this, it was also the place
where you developed your addiction to burgers, fries, and malts.
