subject: Car Hops And Antique Car Shows [print this page] Antique car shows are a great venue for car hops. It can be very simple to set up a drive-in style catering event to make the antique car show a lot more fun. Having a waiter or waitress bring food to people in their cars can be a great way to make a car show that much more exciting.
Antique car shows have older cars that work great for car hops. Car hops deal with the fifties theme. Be sure to have food that brings in the theme, such as hamburgers, fries, and milkshakes.
A car hop can be a fun way to bring customer's their food. Servers can bring the food out to people in their car in roller skates and poodle skirts. Have them wear car hop costumes and have fun with the drive-in-car hop theme.
Car hop costumes are imperative if you want to sell the car hop. Car hop costumes should include sock hop attire. This includes poodle skirts, white socks, blue jeans, ponytails, etc. Add roller skates and you have the ultimate car hop costume.
Search online for car hop costume ideas. You can look at YouTube, or older television shows and movies. Some good examples can be found on Happy Days or in American Graffiti.
While a lot of television shows and movies portray waiters and waitresses wearing roller skates that is not always the case. Actually, most car hops actually worked on foot. Only a few places made their servers wear roller skates.
Car hops were named that way because the server hopped over their car so the customer's knew which car was theirs. Servers live off tips. The cars would drop off their tips in the server's car on their way out.
Car hops were very popular in the 50s, but they are basically unheard of today. Now there are only a few original drive-in stands and fast food car hops. Bringing back the car hop theme can bring back a lot of good memories to people.
