The daytime family eating in the car was shot at my home theater, the Ridge Road Drive-In, Griffith, Indiana. What a great place to grow up. Intermission bingo with an actual mountain of prizes in the huge concession stand, quickdraw contests, holiday specials, packed playground, heaters in the car, and a fantastic enthusiastic host/manager on the speaker. I’ve had 50 years in the film & video production business because I grew up at the Ridge Road Drive-In. What great memories.

There was nothing like going to the drive-in with your whole family back in the 1960s and 70s . I remember my folks taking us to see Yours , Mine and Ours with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda in 1968. I also saw Star Wars at a Drive-In

This is why I went to the drive-ins. I just love these cute little intermission ads.

I remember Rain Drizzle Guards. They didn't work too well. Wind would blow them away or the rain under them. Coming from Seattle, rain wasn't exactly unheard of.

I still have tons of VHS tapes full of this stuff from Something Weird and other companies. Like Joe Bob says ,"The drive in will never die".

Ah - sweet era .... well, I guess not so sweet when the social injustices of the day are considered, but there's such an appealing naivety to this old animation/music. Thanks for this charming little tour through public domain!

Thanks for the share! Dave Lounder (THE DRIVE-IN THEATRE PRESERVATION SOCIETY) We're bringin' 'em back!

Sorry, I was "gone" to the lobby to get myself a treat! The sparkling drinks are just dandy... ;-)

4:32 that hot dog is suicidal.

Oh too cool. Thanks for this Xoroaster! I'm going to send this on to a few people. Yeah, I rember many of these and probably saw them all. I also remember going on my own to my local theater and getting in to the traditional "double feature" for .50 cents! So I know my parents paid even less than that for me earlier in life. When the Beatles first movie "A Hard Days Night" came, I watched it day after day at .50 cents a pop!

Brings back wonderful childhood memories!

I only wish that my parents and I had eaten dinner at the Drive-In at that time.

Great stuff. I remember. I love this stuff. I still see some of this at the drive in.

these are great how did you find these?

We have 2 driveins within 10 miles. Hope they stay in business. The closest one we can hear the credits on the radio all the way home. But we always bring our own snacks.

1:59- "What is it?" "SAY!" "WHAT IS IT??" "HEY!!! Why it's................"

That clown is really having a bad NIGHT!

Love these old commercials but never saw a drizzle guard. Lol

Hey, no sweat AA. ;-D That's pretty cool. I don't think I've seen that. I think the first drive in movie I saw was Wrath of Khan. But the last one I saw was one of the Harry Potter movies I think. We still have one operating drive in theater here. It's a double feature theater, and i think it shows some of these type of deals.

One toward the end really cracks me up. Its something like "You got problems? Go to church and leave them there." ;-D

Fanfiction intermission for Lunch. Subscribed and getting ready to read some more story soon.

ah those were the good old days.

Those were special times .

10:03: THIS SEAL IN ADVERTISING INDICATES THAT THE FILM WAS APPROVED UNDER THE *MOTION PICTURE* CODE OF SELF-REGULATION.

Hey, no sweat. ;-D There's a ton of public domain video at that site. This was just one of them. I thought about uploading a couple of cartoons.

1:54 - Break into the drive-in and eat during daylight hours!

That was a bit disturbing. ;-D

Am I the only one who finds the hot dog commercial at 4:34 slightly disturbing?

You can beat fun at the old drive in movies

Disembodied boy's head in hot dog commercial, they seemed to like disembodied heads in ads back then, the magazines are full of them. Interesting those car heaters, obviously those are for places with a milder winter climate then let's say Alberta or Minnesota.

My father would have died before he would ever driven off without first removing the speaker-he would have been afraid that he would have had to pay for it, even if it was an accident.

Drive IN move theatres is the best social distancing , fun weekend , for the entities family.

SHOW THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AT THE DRIVE INN THAT'S WHERE ALL THE ACTION IS 🚗🚘

Nothing worse than being stoned out of my mind and walking to the refreshment stand for overpriced junk food. Standing with all the families, trying not to get too paranoid.

Don't forget the beaker.

Get rid of smartphones! Bring back drive in theaters!

Hows that fight against pay TV going for ya?

The heater seemed like it would be dangerous. And the flimsy drizzle guard wouldn't hold up to rain drops beating down on it

Well...the cable petition didn’t go over well.

Awesome☃

@Xoroaster Nothing like a good buzzkill PSA about going to church to dampen one's weekend at the Drive-In!

GREAT MEMORIES! WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO SOCIETY???

I remember those commercials . man they were dorky.

Most people do!

And just what were those "premiums" you got when you saved all those Eskimo Pie wrappers? Just wondering. 🤔

Why do some cartoon refreshment ad's reminded of 1950s Popeye cheap animation for television

What was the deal with the Hot Dog part? That was like Porno-Toons!

So the M rating became PG, I take it.

Those are from the 50's?

wow

Anyone thinking bout stealing some speakers? cause - you know - I could really use the extra $50 bucks !

lol

@matthewbailey08 Yes! And Eskimo Pie never sounded/looked so inflammatory towards the indigenous? I think we should rename that quiescent dessert Wasp Pie, steal a bunch of speakers, set the church on fire and have a weenie roast ;) Anyone with us?
