The American Drive-In: History and Folklore of the Drive-in Restaurant in American Car Culture

The American Drive-In is a wonderful look at the nostalgic history, culture, and folklore of the drive-in restaurant--its development and the role it played in American folklife. Images from American Graffiti, Happy Days, and the finned and chromed cars from the '50s and '60s set the tone for this colorful, memory-filled book.
