This one opened 1954 the year I was born.

Still has car hops, with best burgers and soft ice cream.

In Canada so it is closed for winter.

This one in MI is called Eddies drive in, and has been around for years. Really cool place and they have always had car cruises and stuff before it became real popular with all the other restaurants.

First one built in my town - late 50's or early 60's. Long gone now.

Boot's Drive-In

I worked at this one, as a car hop, when I was eleven and twelve years old. We used nail bags to keep our change in.

We really don't have a burger hang out, but the closest thing we do have is a "Hungry Jacks" which is equivalent to your 'Burger King"


Here is a typical pick of what the inside looks like.

Guys in Detroit might remember early 60’s a place called Stewarts down by the lake in Leamington Ontario Canada.
Car hangout and the Americans would come over looking to run the cars.
Story’s are told about a mobile starting line tree being used and money changing hands weekly.
Guys would meet up at Stewart’s yak, yak, yak and then head out to the farm land with open quiet roads.
And our guys might have visited Woodward at times also.

Sam's Drive-In in Byron, IL. We went there in 2014 during the Meltdown Drags. Really good "Sam Burgers" with special sauce, homemade root beer, soft ice cream. This is my Dad with my wagon, it was his 51st Birthday. Can't wait to go back this summer and buy a couple gallons of root beer to bootleg home
