Don Coatney sent me this link to a video about a drive-in restaurant in California.  

 

Lots of cool old cars when they were pretty new.......many Chrysler products included.

Good video.Times change.When I started my apprenticeship I was making less than 80 cents an hour - When I quit working ten years ago,the starting wage was close to $20. per hour.

Coffee is sure not my choice beverage when eating a cheeseburger and fries. A malted milkshake is required.

That will be an extra 10 Cents please for that milkshake instead of the coffee .... your right .. back then a milkshake was a given selection

Ya got 3 scoops in a Float for 19 cents, & it didn't have guar gum or carrageenan in it either.  

 

Nowadays we have lots of "fast food workers" but you gotta make yer own soda. I haven't seen a real Soda Jerk since the 60's, when on my 13th birthday we went to Bridgeman's in Duluth MN, & I ate the LaLaPalooza Sundae.

 

It cost over a dollar & it had like a dozen scoops with everything on it & if you ate the whole thing you got a flashy button which served as the eternal testimonial to your act of expensive & self-abusive gluttony.  

 

And a grand tummy ache as well     but damn the torpedoes...I had to have one! 

 

Anyhow, Bridgeman's had real Soda Jerks in the white hats & aprons to whip it all up just like American Graffiti.
