Two People In Car with "Metro" label on speaker

Photo of two people at Chullora Metro-Twin Drive In taken in 1956.

Notice (i) the speaker enclosure was a ‘triangle-shaped’ design and larger than the typical drive-in speaker. Typically drive-in speakers were narrower and rectangular in shape. (ii) The name “Metro” was on top of the drive speaker.

This photo has been used in a number of publications for the same story:

Further comment. Based on the background, this photo is likely to be taken during the day. Seems pointless to exhibit a film during the day since one cannot view it.
