Antique car shows are wonderful venues for car hops. Set up a drive-in style catering event and make your antique show more fun. Dress up your waiter or waitress and have them bring food to the people in their vehicles.

Antique shows have older vehilces that work great for hops. They deal with the fifties theme. Be sure to have food that brings in the theme, such as hamburgers, fries, and milkshakes.

A hop can be fun for customers. Servers bring out food to customers in their car. The waiters and waitresses wear their costumes and have a lot of fun serving them.

They can be anything in fifties attire. Poodle skirts, white socks, blue jeans, and ponytails are great choices for sock hop attire. If you want to do a little more with the costume, have servers wear roller skates.

Search online for 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 portray servers always wearing roller skates, that wasn't usually the case. Most waiters and waitresses did not use roller skates. They worked in the drive-in on foot.

Car hops were termed car hop because the server normally hopped on to or over his car to let the customers know where to put their change. Waiters and waitresses needed tips to make money. Customers left the 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.
