We have 2 drive ins within 10 miles of my house, one being
Shankweiler's, the oldest continually operating theater in the US.
Automobile magazine did a feature about this drive in a few weeks ago.
Taking the Imperial to the drive in last Saturday night was a blast. I
must have had discussions with 25 people about the car. What was funnier
was that there was a 70ish MGB parked right next to us...I think it would have
fit in my trunk. Wish I would have had my camera with me to record
that. One guy was looking inside the car and explaining to his buddy how
you had to have a careful ear to shift the push button transmission since the
car didn't have a tachometer. I guess he figured the D button was for Do
Not Shift. Had to explain to him how the pushbuttons were
operated. The automatic beam changer really blew his
mind.
