I think there were 1700 people in the trunk of the car !!! Wasn't my car but got voted to drive it in - it was an 'over 18' movie and my sister/her friends weren't 18. They piled into the trunk and I drove in by myself. Still wondering why I didn't get questioned lol...
In the summer could park in the lot next to the drive-in and see the screen quite well and hear the sound from the film from the open windows of the cars.
I remember seeing a James Bond movie there. I also remember shipping out to the Marines from a big red brick building (armoury?) near there in mid 60s. The James Bond movie was better!
This place brings back memories. My day worked in the Shipyard Marina yacht broker office, he sold powerboats after retiring from the Navy in '63. I only went to one movie there, maybe Aug. of '65, but it was classic....the Beatles in "Help". We were sailing a regatta in Edgewood and walked over, we paid and sat on a bench next to a speaker.
