Last night I went to the local drive-in theater (yes we still have one of those in little Newberg, Oregon). It was their 21st annual collector car night sponsored by the local Edsel car club.
I had never gone before and what a blast I had. Before the sun went down the car owners did the tour, talking to each other about their cars and educating those who thought they were just coming to enjoy a movie. There was a film crew there and a woman named April Wright who made a documentary titled "The Definitive Story of the American Drive-In Movie".
And when the movie started and I was sitting in my car I looked ahead and saw the back of several 50s and 60s cars. I looked in my mirror and staring back at me were the toothy grills of 3 Edsels, a Nash Metropolitan, a Plymouth Roadrunner and a '40 Packard Model 160.
Now, how cool is that!
Anyone else been to the drive-in movies lately?
