drive-ins
Parks showing movies
Drive-ins are businesses designed to serve customers who remain in their cars.
A drive-in movie theater shows films on an outdoor screen while viewers watch from parked vehicles.
Drive-in restaurants bring food to your car window.
The concept peaked in mid-20th-century America, when car culture dominated: We caught a double feature at the drive-in.
Most have given way to multiplexes and drive-throughs.
