Do you remember drive-ins from the 1950s? With car hops and window trays? Have you seen one recently? You haven't? I have.
In the tiny western Wyoming town of Afton, population roughly 2000, there is an old-fashioned drive-in called The Red Baron. The car hops aren't in uniform, don't wear roller skates, and probably only work in summer (Rocky Mountain winters are both cold and long). But they employ several at this time of year.
Window trays are available, or you can eat inside (a must in winter). The parking is covered, carport-style, and the menu is readable through the windshield of your pickup truck.
This unselfconsciously functional antique is located on U.S. 89 (the main drag) at the south end of town. Locals like it a lot.
