Oh yeah, I remember. I saw my Grandma's Fairlane that I drove up from California in. Didn't see my '66 442, but that was late sixties. I remember the drive in theaters too.

My Pard and I were sitting in a drive in theater watching a movie when the car started jumping up and down. We got out to check the tires or run off anybody jumping on the bumper, but there was nobody. The next day we found out it was the West Yellowstone earthquake that killed a number of campers and created Hebgen Lake in Montana. We were 200 miles from the epicenter. The newspaper took note of two young men checking the tires at the drive in theater in its coverage of the earthquake.

When I was a youngster, the drive in had a little train that took us kids on rides around the screen. I don't know if there are any drive in theaters left any more.

Funny how you can remember all those details of stuff that happened fifty years ago but you can't remember where you put your glasses.
