A car was basically a living room couch on wheels.
Back in the good old days, the wife & I used to attend those a lot. They had certain advantages over the indoor theatre.
Used to be for sure. My old land yatch Polaris 4 door and my older style suburban both were like sitting on a couch- new vehicles are separate seats unfortunately. The girlfriend could slide over next to the driver back in the day as seat belt laws weren’t around then, and the vehicles had such comfortable couch like quality to them. Miss those old vehicles a lot. I also miss filling up a near empty tank for under $10 or so too! Now it’s a $50 bill for a small tank vehicle almost.
Quite true!
I don’t think the Drive-in experience will be quite the same in modern vehicles.
The drive-in experience requires a front bench seat.
Jay Leno in his latest interview was talking about some old Buick that he restored. “That’s the car where my wife and I made out in for the first time. After I restored it we thought we would recreate the moment. We found the old parking spot. Of course it’s been 30 years now. The once empty road is now a subdivision, and we aren’t as limber as before.
I ended up bumping the horn and the nearby house lights came on and a guy came out. Wasn’t as romantic as I remembered it.”
A car was basically a roll-away-bed.
