This is a quick reference to a drive-in being built in Buffalo Mo. This small rural town was home to a very unique idea.The drive-in turned out to be the first Autoscope! Each car had it's own screen. The projection booth sat in the middle encircled by screens. The film was projected onto a special lens that reflected multible images, these images were sent from the projection booth to the back side of the screens giving each car it's own view. The Autoscope was short lived though, several were built in Mo and other states but the idea never really caught on
