Coit opened his first drive-in restaurant, Weber's, in 1954, in Oklahoma City. The exclusively curb-service establishment opened in an era when dragging the strip in a Model-T was the ultimate weekend activity.People still drove Model Ts in 1954?
They stopped making them in 1928 and they stopped making any parts compatible with the Model T in 1941.

Back then, the cool thing to do was to take a old model T car and fix it up, put a bigger engine in it, put slicks ( wide tires ) .... basically making it out of a HOTROD.
It's the same today, people taking old cars or taking old car styles ( but with a fiberglass body ) and make it into a HOTROD.
