  1. We used to climb the fence and have
    one dude drive the car in.Steal the
    ice for our beer from the Holiday Inn
    motel.There were girls roaming around
    from “St. Andrews high”.Every guy on
    James Island wanted to meet a girl
    from ‘St.Andrews high”…

  2. Might as well learn a little history while admiring those “torpedoes”. Wikipedia, sigh, is the quickest reference.

    The 50’s actress, known everywhere as simply “Dagmar” became famous for her impressive “talents” and was typically cast as the dumb blond. She was so well known that “Dagmar Bumpers” was the slang term for those bullets on the chrome bumpers of iconic cars like the ’55 Cadillac Eldorado and the ’56 Chevy.

    Fascinating research can be done on YouTube.

    Damn Buttheadicus I grew up across the highway from the Holiday Inn
    and drive in you talk about, all gone now. I was a St.Andrews guy
    chasing James Island girls.Caught a few too.

  4. Nothing was better then the Drive-In. If you had no car you could sit just out of sight at the back row and turn the speakers up. Yop could arive earlier and get in the line then go outside to the front grass and have a game of touch football or frisbee. You found spots with your friends and travelled between cars all night. The Dusk to Dawn Marathon. The snackbar where everything just seemed to taste better. First make out sessions. Drinking beer (Iknow it’s frowned on now but back then as long as you hid the beer it was alright). Smoking weed, probably the safest place but this came in as Drive-Ins were shuting down. Best Memories.

  5. The “Dollar A Car” nights at the McLendon Triple were…interesting. Hardest part was driving with nine people in the car, two in the trunk, and still have room for the beer!

  6. My original title for this post was
    Bench Seat + Drive-in + This Lady

    You do the math.

    But I felt it was a little crass.
    Glad to know a few did the math without my equation.
    That’s one fine looking broad.

    That’s one fine looking broad… particularly from the neck down.
