You like the top down and the wind in your hair.
You like the top down and the wind in your hair.
Are you still despondent over the sale of your ’68 Mustang convertible? Make your first call to DFW Elite Auto Rental and choose—oh, just for grins—a Lamborghini Gallardo convertible. After they deliver it to your door, head over to Keller’s Drive In, where the bikers and classic car collectors who frequent the popular spot will nod in approval as you slip into a covered space.
After you’ve filled your tummy with a couple of No. 5s, fill your tank and head down Highway 67 southwest to Glen Rose, home of Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. Spend the afternoon driving the 9-mile tour through 1,800 acres, where you’ll see wildlife including antelope, giraffe, wildebeest, and zebra. Halfway through, stretch your legs at the Overlook Cafe.

Then drive Highway 287 to Ennis, home of the Galaxy Drive-In Theater, one of the last great drive-ins in Texas. All four screens have been refurbished. Before the first feature, you’ll be flooded with memories of that old Mustang. Perhaps you’d better put the top up.
