We didn’t have a car when I was growing up, so I never experienced the drive-in until I was much older and married. The last drive-in theater here was demolished about 4-5 years ago. The land was sold to a car dealership. Me and my youngest son who was in his early 40’s at the time would go there. They had two screens. One was for kids movies, and the other for those who wanted to see the current movies. Sometimes they’d have double-features, or triple features.

Yeah...it is harder to find them, no doubt.

I remember going to see movies like “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, “Batman” (from the Sixties) and we were all wearing pajamas in the back of a rust colored 1961 Plymouth Station Wagon. My dad drove, my mom made a couple of paper shopping bags full of popcorn, and we had all the blankets in the back...:)

America.
