By Paul Kennedy on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 - 07:01 pm:There was this little "Cruise Night/ Toy Drive" here in Redlands last Friday night. Alex was bringing his T, a family friend brought out his '62 Jaguar Mk-2, and at the last minute I decided to bring our 1929 Packard 6-45 Touring. Here we are gassing up after the display and we decided to putt 'round town for a while. Alex had the kielbasa cooking on the T's manifold cooker and we all enjoyed a warm snack at the local mall parking lot.
BTW, Alex and I got into a hand crank competition at the show- him on the T and me hand cranking the big Packard 8. I am not going to say who got started first.

By Michael Deichmann, Blistrup, Denmark on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 - 07:34 pm:Wow - beautyful cars! Nothing like hanging out with the lads!
By Dennis Halpin on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 - 01:19 am:As far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what these cars were made to do. Now, if somebody had enough 'disposable income' to build a good ol Drive-in Restruant, complete with 'Car Hops' and everything......

We have such a place here in G.V. Your little "Nash Rambler" would be perfect!
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
By Martin Vowell, Pacoima, CA on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 - 04:07 am:Nice Packard, but then I've always loved Packards (they have nice sound, I had a 41 110 sedan).

Wayne, I grew up in Fresno in the early 60's. The local Bob's Big Boy was the place to be. I might as well as lived the movie "American Graffiti". My Rambler and my Model T look right at home in the 'historic district' of my little Florida town. It hasn't changed much since the 50's-60's. If I had a little more money, I know just the lot for a Drive-In. It's the one where the old, closed, 'Full Service' Shell Station is right now.
By Bob McDonald-Federal Way . Wa. on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 - 05:06 pm:Are there any SPIVEYS drive-ins in the Santa Clara Valley any more. There was one in Campbell
and in Santa Cruz in the 50's and a few more as I recall.

By Warren Henderson, Dunbarton/Concord, NH on Thursday, December 15, 2011 - 06:06 am:Back in the 50's around these parts (New England) A&W Root Beer stands were the place to go. Last summer while on a trip to Middlebury, Vermont to look at some antique trucks that were for sale, my wife and I came across a A&W still in business. We had a great meal and a lot of great memories to go with it!
Happy motoring, Warren
