MIDWAY DRIVE IN THEATRE -60th ANNIVERSARY JULY 18th 2008
CLASSIC CARS, Trucks PRE 1979 Wanted
 
Please visit website www.MidwayDriveIn.com
Or email john1@midwaydrivein.com for details
 
I think it would be neat if we could have some 
old classic cars (1978 or Earlier) on the lot 
for our 60th....Would love to make the Midway
a Cruise spot on Friday July 18th.  If you have
a car you would like to bring out for the Movies, 
we'll open the gates at 6PM for you to allow for
some social time between car owners and the 
opportunity to park as a group. My film contracts
dictate no discounted tickets so you would have
to pay regular admission.  However I will set 
aside at least (50) of our 60th Anniversary coins
as a gift for the Driver of the first (50)
classic cars to show up, that pre-registered 
with us and also give a coupon for an 46 oz 
pop corn for each occupant of your car.  These
coins have a $10.00 redemption value in the 
Concession; however I'm hoping you'll put them
away with your treasures.
 
To register simply email me at
john1@midwaydrivein.com and tell me you plan
to bring your car out on July 18th and the 
following information:    
 
Your Name
Contact phone number
Email address or mailing address
Make and year of car
License number
 
Understand this is just a night at the movies,
not a car show
 
Be advised you will need an FM radio to listen
to the movies, bring a portable if your car 
is not equipped.
 
If rain appears to be an issue call Theatre 
for a possiblepostponement to Saturday Night
July 19th
 
I don't know yet what the movies will be other 
than a Triple Feature and Family Friendly.
 
PLEASE CUT AND PASTE THIS SECTION AND SEND OUT
TO OTHER CLASSIC CAR OWNERS THAT YOU THINK 
MIGHT BE INTERESTED.
 
Thanks John
