First, I must correct you. It's "hambergers," just look at the sign!

I assumed it was six burgers (er, bergers) and a gallon of soft drink to take home. Full-sized, as a burger was generally all of a quarter back then in many places. I don't think this place has a dine in option.
I wonder if they taste anything like cheeseborgers.

When I was in college the local Hardees had a chain conveyor with a bucket on it for the drive up. You placed your order and put your money in the basket. It went straight up the wall and through a hole just below the roof line. Your food ad change came back to you the same way. I have never seen another one like it, either before or in the 35+ years since.

^^^^^ That's Guy Lombardo's racing boat: http://www.seabuddyonboats.com/shows-and-events/tempo-vi-race-boat-and-guy-lombardo/

This was located on Rt. 66 so maybe was a favorite stop of the Lombardo racing team.
