<VV> Slideshow of postcards ALL with Corvairs!

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

Brilliant site - I love the pictures, not just for the Vairs, but also for 
the backgrounds in the pix!

I followed a link from the postcards website, and it took me to Curbside TV, 
which had a great article on drive-in movie theatres, with a guy who had 
gone to one in his Corvair camper 
(http://www.curbside.tv/review_single.php?rid=108) - and although his was 
only the massively inferior and less rare 6-door variety (;-))), I can't 
think of a nicer way to go to the drive-in, and it made me nostalgic for the 
8-door again. (:-((((((

Anyway, from that page I was amazed and fascinated to discover that drive-in 
movie theatres are still in existence in the USA (505 of them, to be 
precise). He gives a link at the end of the article: 
http://www.drive-ins.com

My question, though, is why do so many of them style themselves 'Drive-in 
Movie TheatREs, rather than TheatERs? That is the Brit (and Canuck?) 
spelling, but it ain't even the spelling used on the website, so why do the 
Theatres (sic) themselves use that spelling?

As my favourite of all states is Idaho (well, it's a 3-way toss-up between 
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming), I naturally checked out the ones in Idaho 
first, and this one:

spells itself 'TheatRE'. Does Idaho have its own spelling system? I think 
not, because there were others in NC and Kansas, at least. So perhaps they 
wanted to make them sound sophisticated and 'furrin'??

Cheers

Alan
