Some of you are familiar with my current travels around the US for my project, On the Road with Lolita.  Well, I was in a bookstore in Charleston, SC and came across The Big Book of Car Culture by Hinckley and Robinson.

It mentions The Dolores in Oklahoma City, OK owned by Vince Stevens as being the first carhop restaurant in 1934. 

I apologize if this fact is a. inaccurate or b. already well-known to subscribers, but it was an interesting detail.
