Remembering Old Drive-In Restaurants

And here is another of the shots from the article (Cruisin' USA, featuring KC and its surrounding suburbs) Brian T borrowed that photo from! It was May 6th through the 8th, 1980. The 70 340 automatic Swinger was so much fun to run around in. We had it set up to spray water or bleech or VHT in front of the rear tires (dispensed from a windshield wiper fluid bottle mounted in the trunk). From a roll with water, you could fool faster and louder cars into thinking the 340 was way more powerful than it should have been. Two of my brothers are in the photo; one in the Swinger and one standing to the left of the Dart. The Poole brothers are the other two guys with the Dart; Mark standing out and Tim in the car. I often think about that weekend and wonder how many of those cars are still around and with their original owners....
