About Car Hop
The 30’s to the 50’s can be back with the car hop. The first carhops originate to the late 1930’s when drive in restaurants became most popular. There were more cars on the road, offering a more mobile community. Car hops would wear roller skates to move more quickly from car to restaurant and back again. Waiters were used first for the carhop position, but restaurants realized women could sell more food, thus they began to market the car hop position for the female. Sonic Drive In is about the only restaurant today that is a drive in with car hops. The restaurant allows their employees to choose to wear skates. Sonic is takes people back to the older days when things were a bit different. The mobile phone world and computers weren’t part of the package back then. It was more of a family or date night to go to the drive in.
Dressing up as Car Hop
Happy Days, American Graffiti and of course our drive in for today offer us costumes for the car hop. Since time has evolved the car hop position there are numerous costumes to choose from. The most typical look comes from the 50’s, when poodle skirts were in fashion. The costume has an above the knee blue or pink skirt with a small white apron over it. For the top of the costume a black, pink, or other fashionable colored shirt is required. The shirt is typical of waitress costumes with the white collar slightly open at the neck. To top of the look a bell hop style hat is required. If you go back to the thirties the costumes differ only slightly. Instead of the short skirt and apron the typical look was a knee length skirt with matching top. The matching top would have long sleeves and be akin to the military look with two rows of matching buttons up the front. The car hop hat was still used even then.
