It must have been so fun to go see a movie and see all the big stars, sit in your car, eat some hot dogs or hamburgers, and feel a breeze on your face. I can't imagine that seeing a movie today could even compare to seeing one at a drive-in.
A few facts about drive-in theaters:
*the first patent for a drive-in theater was issued on May 16,1933
*Richard Hollingshead opened the first drive-in in Camden, New Jersey, costing $30,000
*admission was a quarter for each person and a quarter for the car
*windows were often kept up to prevent mosquitoes from getting in
*many drive-in theaters had playgrounds
