Swap Shop Drive-in (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)

The current largest drive-in in the United States is Florida's Swap Shop Drive-In, a complex with 14 screens as well as a kitschy indoor and outdoor flea market, an arcade and carnival rides. You don't have to leave your car to get concessions; employees drive around on golf carts selling food and drinks during the show. Just flash your lights to get their attention.

Looks like it is pretty expensive to park inside.

I think it might be slightly more attractive than even a '63 250 GTO.

It is one of three 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciales ever built and it's the only one with a racing history.

All three 275 GTB/C Speciales were built as race cars (the C stands for Competizione) to compete in the FIA's GT class. Successors to the 250 GTO, they were designed by Pininfarina, and Scaglieti built the bodies. The cars were based on the 275 GTB road car but featured several modifications for racing. The aluminum body panels were about half as thick as those of the road cars, making them prone to denting. The Speciales also used thinner chassis tubes to reduce weight. All told, they weighed more than 300 pounds less than the road cars.

In 1962, Budd produced a running prototype of a sporty convertible, the XR-400 concept designed with sports car proportions. Budd suggested to American Motors that it should put such a vehicle into production. By the way, that production would have begun months before Ford unveiled a car with similar styling, the Mustang.
