Malibu Beach, The Van , Hollywood Blvd., and Van Nuys Blvd. were ALL good drive-in movies ! We'd all go to HiWay 39 with our lawn chairs and Coors in styrofoam coolers .

The tradition dates to the late 1950s when high schools in the San Fernando Valley held club meetings each Wednesday, said Jon Billesbach, 67, of North Hollywood. Youths in car clubs would head to the boulevard after the meetings ended for street racing.
