The Track restaurant opened in LA in 1949 and featured a new way of delivering food right to your car in a unique hooded tray. We have a neat series of photos, the patent drawings and the whole story behind it on The Old Motor.

Now that is COOL however, backing out of your spot might have proven to be difficult... :eek: LOL

Not an improvement over cute girls on roller skates delivering the food, IMO.

Agreed... no improvement if no chicks! Novel idea tho'

Love the woodie in the second pic. I think it would be neat to see all those food carts scooting back and forth.
