Been to plenty of drive-in's in my time. And, before you could use the car radio for the movie sound. We had to use the external speaker you hung on your window. Good ole days...

there was one drive in here in delaware that just shut down a few years ago. the problem was here and all other drive ins is all movies now are digital and in order to upgrade their projectors it would cost tons of money (forget the amount think it was about 40-50k). but they would never been able to pay it off

I remember when they used a giant reel to reel, you could look back up and see a guy operating a big projector. Like when i saw the original star wars, jaws, smokey, rocky, jerimiah johnson, josey wales, etc.... All 70's.  The 70's were awesome! Great trucks!

And the movies were $2.50

And the drive-in was $5 a car load.
