Many of us can remember going to these back in the day. Ever want to go again? Did you younger guys ever wonder what it was like? Here's your chance to do both/either. Both of these sites have pretty much the same lists, but they have diff features, and are REALLY REALLY cool!! Check them out. Should we start sharing stories about being at one?

P.S. Wouldn't a trip to one make a GREAT cruise destination? Maybe one would work with you or your club/group.

site is pretty boring, but
does have some good info on some olds drive in movies!

There is a few names locally I remeber closed in the late 80's, both sites missed a new one that opened up a couple years ago.

The Solano drive-in in Concord Ca was my hang out back in the day. cool place lot of good memories, The drive in was also in American Garfitti at the end of the movie, one of the characters was looking out thte window of the air plane and Suzanne Summers was driving that now famous White T-bird by the drive in. If back seats could talk.......:smileyb:

It sucks so much that theres only one of these in the whole state of Jersey. :dontknow:

Good for the young crowd without a place of their own. Give me a couch and my bigscreen with a pause button:inlove: and leave the memories.

I remember a lot about the drive-ins, but it isn't about the movies!
We called them "passion pits":smileyb:

These never took off in Alaska, they tried, but had pretty much died out by the time I was born. There was still one that was hanging on, but it was considered seedy and was pretty run down by the 70's. I guess something about 12° in winter, and 24 hours of sunlight in the summer made them a bit useless here.

I used to go to the Swap Shop in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. They have like 10 screens ofcourse the best being the Thunderbird. When I had my RX-7 I found that the paint was bad and was able to peel it with a razor blade so I went to the drive in, watched a movie while I peeled the paint off. :nanawrench:

When I was growing up Drive Ins were everywhere. At seventeen (1967) I had a TR3, they had removable windows, you would stick the speaker on the window, I forgot to remove it when I drove off and the window went flying, so much for making a cool exit. Memories.

As I remember, the speakers were really crappy sounding, distorting etc.

haaaa. the solano drive in. loved that place. grew up in west pittsburg.

and notice that a lot of them run flea markets on the weekends! Have picked up many good cheap parts at flea markets over the years

:nanawrench:

My mom used to take me to the drive ins every weekend. One was turned into a flea market and the other a college...booooooooo! I miss laying on the hood of the ole Camaro eating junk food

I remember standing on my grand parents front porch and and watching movies with no sound from this drive-in

Speaking of the white T-bird Suzanne drove.... In 81 I was a dealer mech at Vista Chev in Corpus Christi, Tx. Everyone kept saying, "wait til you see the boss's wife's car". One day she came in. It was THE white T-bird from American Grafitti!! She had the framed paperwork and everything. She said that they paid $30K to use the car, put a new top w/portholes on it, and painted it as compensation for using it in the movie.
I never met Suzanne, but I sat in her car!
