Did Mel´s Drive-In really exist ?

Even current pics of the remains wouldn´t hurt...like this site...

You´d be surpirsed how Old School American some current ones are especially in Sweden for example.
So actually...who´s got the lack of imagination here... or something

 

Yes I do now its a crappy fuel stop full of potholes now still have lot lizzards and five finger discounts.,Crome shop next door.

- yep - I have a calender with a pic of it - somewhere in northern cali...

 

Here's one "Red" Amick's in No. Indiana. Stopped there when my Scout troop was coming back from a 2 week canoe trip in Mn.

 

Actually there´s more than one of them up there...
the Calnder pic you have might as well be from Universal Studios theme park in Florida...

 

I love old school truck stops I think the food is better in most of them

 

true - I have a list of my favorite haunts for dinner/lunch - non of them are chains...

There are also a slew of good non truckstop food stops that have truck parking - diners in PA not included...

 

Were Amick's racing trophies on display when you stopped there? I dropped my trailer at Amick's and bobtailed to watch racing at Winchester.

George Amick was killed in 1959 at Daytona during a USAC champ car event. Amick was fastest at 176 mph. Jim Rathmann won the first 100-miler, but just as he came across the finish line there was a crash in turn two. Amick crashed end-over-end in the Bowes Seal Fast Special. Marshall Teague had a fatal crash while testing for this race.

 

Here is Ma's Coffee Pot at South Haven, Michigan.

 

Spent a lot of time there and at the ##### tonk joint next door when I was leased to Getter. We had a 400 acre pipe yard just north of there.
