drive-in
Movies from cars
Drive-in is a dated term that was more common from the 1930s to the 1960s.
It is used to characterize a service or business that can be accessed from a car.
The most common use of the term today is drive-in movie theater, which is still found in some rural areas.
Drive-in is sometimes used interchangeably with drive-through, which designates a service that can be accessed from a car, such as a drive-through bank or drive-through fast food restaurant.
