Moonlite Drive-In T-Shirt (Heavyweight)

The Moonlite Drive-In in Santa Clara, California, opened on October 28, 1949, as Moonlite Movies, on El Camino Real at Kiely Boulevard. Its answer to the Bay Area's winter was in the trade press before it opened: a heater for each car. A night photo from its first years shows the sign glowing over a line of lit letters reading warmth, car heaters, comfort.

United Artists later ran it, with two indoor houses next door. The last ad found ran on December 30, 1972, for Snowball Express. The shopping center on the corner still carries the name.

Printed to order in the USA when you buy it. Standard US shipping is free on orders of $55 or more. Shipping details.
