Anyone still have them where you live? The one that I went to as a teenager is now a shopping center. a lot of memories from those times. I really wish they’d bring them back. Any fond memories from those days? And do you still have them in your town? My big memory from those days, was I got my first kiss at the drive in. and it was in a black and silver 1979 Ranchero.

There's only one left in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. I haven't been to one in probably 40 years or more, but they were always fun. Of course, back then we had to listen to those scratchy speakers that hung on the window, instead of the FM radio they use these days, and mosquitos were always a problem on hot nights when you had to have the windows rolled down.

Chicago area has one left. The other did not open this season for good.

The closest one we had has been closed for years. Sat vacant for awhile, then they built a Walmart, Walmart moved to a bigger building then they built a medical center in the old Walmart, now that is vacant as well! The last time I was at the movies there, it was a bit advanced and the sound came through your radio. My battery died (72 grand torino), I had no jumpers, I was one of the last people to leave, dont ask me why , and no one had any cables. Finally a guy did stop and all he could come up with was some heavy speaker wire. We tried that to no avail. Finally we took the battery out of his car, hooked mine up to get it started then put it back into his car. I have carried jumper cables with me since then to this day. I did see one in SWestern PA. I was working in Pittsburgh and passed it on my way home.

I have a set of those old silver speakers packed away somewhere, that I want to display with my car stuff. Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten all about them, now I have to go hunting for them. Bought them from a member here in the garage sale forum.

Two multi screen drive-ins in the San Diego Metro area. My daughter takes her female youth group out to see a movie with my truck every few months to have fun.

Went out just about every weekend at the local drive-in up in Redding when I was a bit younger. Usually took my best friend's 57 Chevy. Both the Chevy and the drive-in are long gone now, but the best friend is still around. 1500 miles away but we still manage to see each other at least once a year.

[Carmine]

Guess I must be lucky. There are two in the county that I live in. Haven't been to either in years. Maybe I should go before they disappear like the others, Carmine.

My dad came to Gainesville after WWII and went to UofF on the GI bill. We had one drive-in not too far from where we grew up. I was born in 1951 and at the age of 1 year, I along with my older brother @ 4 and my sister @ 6 along with my mom all went to the drive-in on dad's Cushman scooter!! They tell me that mom sat behind dad and held me, and my brother and sister stood on the platform in front of dad while he sorta drove the thing. Today you could be cited for all manner of violations if you tried that one on for size. But at the time dad was still working night shift as one of the 2 Alachua County deputies so we got a pass. Those were the good ole days.

Used to go to the "Miracle Mile Drive In" in Murrysville as a kid when I lived in PA. My wife and I went to our "local" (Ceres CA) years ago, but it's now closed. Just Googled and found one about less than an hour here. May have to take the family some time.

OK, I had to Google Montana Drive-In. Seems we have two, one in Butte, and one in Billings. 240 or 450 miles from me in Kalispell. Maybe if Cow Truck is touring the east side I'll hunt one down.
