Interesting article with great pictures. And yet, I find it difficult to understand the attraction of watching a movie surrounded by smelly cars. With the windows open to attach a speaker, there wouldn't have been that much privacy, and in winter, it would have been miserable to sit there in the cold.

December 1992 we did five weeks driving around Florida and never came across a drive-in, just to see what they were like, must have passed their prime by the 90s.

I remember being taken to a drive-in on a regular basis with my parents whilst living in Adelaide in the very late 60s. For me and my sister we always went in PJ's with pillows & a blanket; she was normally asleep as soon as we got there and I then jumped in the front with my parents to watch the movie.

Last time I was in America was 1986 and I went to the cinema - a multiplex, IIRC... :sideways:

There are still a few Autokinos in German cities (Leipzig, Cologne, Munich, Essen, Berlin, Frankfurt, Stuttgart).
