I was going to ask, were any babies made in that car? Drive in movies, what a great era that was!! It was fun as a kid, going with the family but as a teenager and a young adult, who could ask for more fun. For a male, if he asked a date to go to a drive in and she said yes, then you pretty much knew that you were going to have a good time. For a female, I would guess that the thought process was similar. If she accepted going to a drive in, both parties knew pretty much what was going to happen.
There was a major difference however in my era. When I was growing up (covered wagon days?), couples would seldom, if ever, go all the way. There was first base, second base and third base. Going for the home run was not done in the circles I moved in. Around 1964, that taboo began to break down, at least on the East and West Coasts. Probably in the flyover states it lasted much longer. BTW, that 1966 Chevelle Malibu was a fantastic car, the black vinyl top was a nice touch.
Here are some pictures of them. The design looks fantastic, even 51 years later.

It is really amazing, the car in the picture looks modern and better looking than over 90% of the cars on the road today. They rode great and had lots of power. The main areas of progress since then are in safety, handling, fuel economy and of course of all the sophisticated electronics of today's cars.. The fun quotient of that '66 Malibu may be as migh or higher than that of modern day cars.
