Hmmmm....and I thought the car hop was an invention of 1950s California car culture. Guess not, since the car on the right has an Ohio license plate. Here's the question, when this photo was taken, did the state of Ohio issue a new plate to every car, every year? If so, the plate's from 1949, so we have an actual date for this photo. What really drew me to this image was the waitress's uniform. Love the airplane design and aviator sun glasses. So, did her boss love airplanes, or was their a tie-in of some kind? Was this joint next to an airport or an air base? Or, was this picture taken in Dayton, Ohio, the home town of the Wright brothers?
Fluid Drive is on the bumper. I can't see what make the car is but the number of letters - five - could be Dodge.
