Car Hops and Curb Service: a History of the American Drive-In Restaurant
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Chronicle Books
- Publish date: 01/01/2002
Description:
From the early 1920s to the late 1950s, the American drive-in restaurant was the social arena for the young and old alike. Swinging ponytails, shiny new automobiles, and the aroma of French fries drifting through unrolled car windows heralded a new freedom for American consumers. Since the original Texas Pig Stand of 1921, the drive-in has become an all-American icon. A fascinating cultural and historical commentary on the first half of the twentieth century, Car Hops and Curb Service documents the drive-in's unique architectural contribution to the American landscape - and serves up a delicious look back at a vital period filled with verve and style.
