Inhaltsangabe

Updated and expanded with more photos, more stories, and more drive-ins!

In the 1930s, two new trends took root in America. US 66's promoters, led by Cyrus Avery, worked to pave and popularize their new highway. In New Jersey, inventor Richard Hollingshead Jr. built the first modern drive-in theater, a novel way to enjoy the new talking movies.

After World War II, America's new car culture caused Route 66 and drive-ins to explode in popularity. Decades later, new challengers pulled their customers away. Enjoy the New Millenium's fresh appreciation for both.

The foremost drive-in theater historian of the West, praised by the Library of Congress and Joe Bob Briggs, takes readers on a tour of the 116 ozoners that were within a few miles of Route 66. Experience the often quirky, bite-sized stories of the drive-ins and the people who built and ran them.

Packed with dozens of historic and modern photos, Drive-Ins of Route 66 is the perfect gift for any drive-in enthusiast or historic highway fan.
