There were several drive-in theaters with the name Thunderbird back in the fifties and sixties. This one was located North of Seattle in Marysville, WA. It opened in 1959 with the films My Man Godfrey starring David Niven and June Allison, and Man of the West starring Gary Cooper and Julie London. It had a capacity of 500 vehicles and featured a children’s playground located under the large panoramic screen. As a child, one couldn’t help but race down to the playground before the movie only to have the movie start moments later on the screen above, just when maximum height was reached on the swing.

Our design was recreated from a newspaper advertisement printed in the Marysville Globe in 1959. Get this unique vintage design now at our Etsy shop: magicboltdesign.etsy.com

Built in 1960, Hollywood Star Lanes was located on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles until it was closed in 2002. With its vintage neon signs and retro decor, this 24/7 locale had all the amenities any favorite late-night haunt should have: a cocktail bar, jukebox and celebrities to gawk at and rub elbows with. The 32-lane old-school bowling alley was used as a clubhouse of sorts for the gang of merry misfits in the Coen Brothers film The Big Lebowski.

Our t-shirt design is a recreation of the Hollywood Star Lanes neon sign which glowed outside the bowling alley for decades. This design was screen printed with seven colors and reproduced as closely as possible to the original. Unfortunately, the cost to screen print this design has made it cost-prohibitive in the future, so just like the bowling alley, when they're gone they're gone.
