Capitol Drive-In Long Sleeve T-Shirt

The Capitol Drive-In in Des Moines, Iowa, opened on September 19, 1952, and parked 728 cars. Its mascot was Cappy the Clown. A giant neon Cappy could be seen at night from Interstate 80, and drivers took it for a casino. On the tower he called the theater your symbol of good entertainment.

A 1953 thunderstorm blew down the 75-foot screen tower, and it was rebuilt that summer. The Capitol closed on July 4, 1983, on a triple bill. It was torn down in 1985, and the neon clown went to California.
