eBay: Remco Drive-In Theater
By bohus
I have never been to a drive-in theater, and I really want to have the experience before they all disappear forever. In the next few weeks I'm finally going to go since a close friend just became the projectionist at one of our remaining drive-ins, and he's assured me that I won't have to get smuggled in within the trunk of a car.
We can all bewail the loss of drive-in movie theaters, but perhaps some of our more enterprising readers will invest in a theater of their own. This Remco toy might be a little smaller than you were thinking, but here's a drive-in theater that's ready to go... no messy dealings with movie distributors, and no cleaning up after your little plastic patrons.
For just south of a thousand dollars you can pick up this mint boxed toy drive-in from 1959. It includes toy cars, changeable movie marquees, and most impressively it has a built-in projector for showing filmstrips taken from actual movies.
