Default Outdoor In-car Movie Theater?

Hi guys, I saw a thread on here a few months ago about some kind of in-car outdoor movie threater? Can anyone tell me where I could find those movie threaters and if there are

any that are close to SGV/LA east? Also, how does it work? I don't have a convertible and it's at night, so I don't know if I will be able to see it clearly. Also, if we don't

want to watch it from in the car, is there somewhere we could sit? Also, does it show the latest movies or is it like those vintage movies?


Appreciate it!

They Have one In Orange County If your interested. I took my Z and they put us in the Front Row!! Its at the Orange County Fair Grounds. They have a wireless Transmitter so that you tune your car radio to a certain station and it plays through your cars speakers.

Yeah, that one is perty descent. They just renewed it, so it looks like it did back in its glory days.

If I'm not mistaken all existing Drive-In theaters have the FM transmiters that allow you to tune in through your existing radio.

I know Vineland Drive-In plays the new movies. You have to check the times. Definitly don't bring a lowered car. Depending on how low your car is... well, it's just not a good idea. Have fun.
