I believe it was heading towards early Summer ‘61; my father, Drover and I were heading toward Burlington, VT.  It was just before 10PM, on the old back road, RT 3, of the 1950s, just north of Concord.  The road was pitch black, and when we came around a turn, up popped a neon oasis.  It was the kind of roadside Drive-In that you see in movies like American Graffiti or on TV shows like Happy Days.
