Excellent set. I ended up finding this set at a flea market place for $5.00.

On a side note, I've only been to a drive in theater once in my life. Sadly the movie we saw was 'Liar, Liar' and the movie was awful IMO. So were the insects that night too...

Is it a Drive In or Sail In.

Been to a lot of Drive Ins, but none with a boat dock... :)

Both of the Drive Ins I know of within a hundred miles of here are now flea markets.

Many a happy couple of hours spent in Drive In Movie Theatres...I really miss them. Sneaking in by riding in the trunk was one memory... ;)

I've seen movies from Little Foss and Big Halsey all the way to Smokey and the Bandit (multiple times), 2001 a Space Odyssey, and ET, all in movie theatres. And then there's a couple movies I don't really remember...was more focussed on the company I was with at the time... ;)

El Centro, CA still has a Drive In theater, which plays current movies every night. Cost is per auto, so no trunk hiding necessary. :)

That a nice set up. My last movie I saw at the Drive In was Superman The Movie. I saw it several times when that movie came out. Of course I was 6 or 7 years old at the time. There is a Drive-in still operating close by but never have time to go see the movies anymore.

We actually have 2 within 30 miles one in my hometown gone to all my life which just closed down a couple years ago and another one we try to go to once a year at least... This one has dual screens so they play 4 movies a night good times!

Well now...if the trunk lock doesn't work, then it's not such a good idea.

However...they could have saved themselves a lot of embarassment by simply picking up on and removing the rear seat back and letting them out of the trunk that way... ;) You could do that with those old cars like that...

Have two drive ins in easy access (Rhinebeck and Glens Falls NY) but don't go to either of them- why would I want to get eaten by mosquitos when I can sit in my air-conditioned home instead?

The scene though...hmm, that's darn close to perfection! That 41 Chevy wagon has got to be my #1 most wanted JL Tooling.

We have 2 in PEI, both about an hours drive from where I live, remember the old style where you got to drive away with one of their speakers still attched to the window, now they just use a radio station

Don't forget that MB produced a set of" Elvis at the Drivein" dioramas , some years ago! As I recaall there were 5 cars in the set. They were designed by the same guy who did the original Elvis set; a former acquaintance Jim Richardson in the former Mt Laurel NJ office. I think I just sent all the dioramas, without the cars I had remaining to Wes in FL . Hopefully he can make use of them!

I bought a couple different ones but not all of them.
They were a little on the expensive side here so I limited myself on the ones that I ultimately bought.
Here is one of them:

The casting on the left is a Johnny Lightning.
