Zesto was started by entrepreneur and inventor L.A.M. Phelan as a national franchise. Phelan was head of the Taylor Freezer Corporation, which in 1945 had developed the "Zest-O-Mat" frozen custard machine, and franchise agreements granted exclusive use of the Zest-O-Mat machines in a given territory under the Zesto name. The first known Zesto Drive-In was opened in Jefferson City, Missouri in 1949 with dozens more opening throughout the 1950s, mostly in the U.S. South and Midwest. Taylor Freezer Corp, reportedly growing frustrated with managing a retail business and dealing with franchisees, abandoned the Zesto concept in 1955 and left the remaining franchisees to fend for themselves.

Classic drive-in kitsch.

A drive in theater sign harkening back to the retro 50's

Mel's Diner in Phoenix, Arizona was the setting in the TV show, Alice, that aired on CBS from August 31, 1976 to March 19, 1985. The series is based on the 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. The diner exterior footage was all shot at the actual Mel's Diner on Grand Avenue in Phoenix, while the interior was all shot on sets in Burbank. This version of the Mel's Diner is clean and new, but I've also got a version that includes a realistic vintage treatment to give it true retro look like you picked it up back in 1976.

If you remember these or had a chance to sit in your car and watch movies on the silver screen, then enough said. You rock!

If you're looking for an old style burger and prices, with small town friendliness, and a 50's atmosphere, then Pat's Drive Inn is the place for you!

"Drive-in Theater" is from the Jan Marvin Art Studios Vintage Gallery. The Drive-in Theater takes you back to the days of watching theater outside with loud speakers attached to your car windows. Oh the memories! Jan Marvin creates art that conveys 'The Art of Joy' which is communicated through her unique style of art. As a nature lover, her art has an organic and whimsical quality while utilizing rich, saturated colors. "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." - Psalm 16:11. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, COPYRIGHT PROTECTED

a night at the drive-in

Taking you back to when the Drive-In was king. This image has been created to fit on a standard coffee mug, but it also works as a sticker or magnet. There are over 40 designs available, mix and match your own set of mugs.

The 'Humphrey Burger' was the signature hamburger at the Los Angeles area drive-in chain, McDonnell's. The burger and its tubby mascot were so heavily promoted 9and popular), that many Angelenos took to simply referring to McDonnell's as Humphrey Burger. As for the tagline, I'm sure at the time it spoke highly of their quality, but nowadays it sounds like they were just mailing it in.

Opening Friday April 8, 1955. We invite you to visit our completely all-new snack bar.

Arnold's Restaurant is the name of a popular Milwaukee "greasy spoon"- a local hangout for most of the characters in Happy Days, especially Fonzie, Richie, Potsie, Ralph and their friends and schoolmates.
