Drive-In Restaurants

Ok so we're cheating a little bit with this post seeing as how Drive-In restaurants became popular in the fifties, but they were still going strong in the sixties, so we're saying it counts as a Sixties Sunday post! 


I bet Lutz's Drive In was the place to be back in the day!

  11. I absolutely love this! When I was reading i immediately thought of the Red Rabbit, a vintage drive in restaurant up near Harrisburg, PA. My family used to stop all the time when I was a kid and the place is still up and running today. I found a cool blog feature on it at http://www.retroroadmap.com/2010/05/21/the-red-rabbit-drive-in-a-drivin-destination-in-duncannon-pa/. Thanks for the awesome photos!
