Car Hops and Curb Service : A
History of American Drive-In Restaurants 1920-1960
by Jim HeimannAmazon.com
Once upon a time in the United States, before the ubiquitous yellow arches of a
certain hamburger chain spread like chicken pox, eating on the go was an occasion. Those
long-gone days when customer service was number one--and meals were dished up by
enthusiastic young women costumed to resemble drum majorettes--are captured in this
compilation of vintage photographs and memorabilia, crammed to overflowing with nostalgia.
Synopsis

ephemera, from menus to matchbox covers, Car Hops and Curb Service chronicles a unique
chapter of popular culture for anyone who sipped a malt, hung a tray, or cruised a
drive-in parking lot--or wished they had. 124 color photos.
