Very COOL! I remember the days early 70's when I had my 63 SS Impala and my best friend had a 64 SS Chevelle and we allways met at a local owned fast food hotdog stand called Reed's thats still in business today! You still see hotrods there sometimes.

got off to.

I remember those days Manikin! Your right those were the days!! :-)
Thanks official !
Great display manikin.
Kevin it reminds me of the old drive inn's I remember the girls wearing roller skates at one and oh the glorious smell of them :-) Gone are days I can eat hamburgers and fries but sure miss these classic drive inn's . That was the meeting place for the teens to hang out too :-) Your Dad had good taste :-)
I was not a teen in 50's but our local drive inn always had classic souped up old cars in parking lot . The guys all seemed to like the 57 Chevy's and the like no one drove a new car . The last of our drive inn restaurants was a A&W which closed more than 10 years ago .
