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.

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 .
