Who invented the drive-through window?

Inventor of the Drive-ThruRay Croc the founder of McDonalds. While Ray Croc implemented and authorize the installation, it was one of his employees who had the idea and was persistent enough to push the issue up the chain of command. (according to Paul Harvey's "the rest of the story"Respecfully, the above info is not correct. The first drive-thru windows were in existence a few years before Ray opened his first McDonald's.It was Harry and Esther Snyder, of the In-N-Out Burger chain that built the first drive-through restaurant in 1948. Harry and Esther, the chain's founders, built their first restaurant in Baldwin Park, California, with a two-way speaker to enable patrons to order directly from their cars without the intermediation of a carhop. Within 5 years, they had added a drive-up window to one of their locations, though not all locations would receive a window.Again, the above information is incorrect.The first drive-thru restaurant was created in 1947 by Sheldon "Red" Chaney, operator of Red's Giant Hamburg in Springfield, Missouri. Located on the famous Route 66, the restaurant served customers until its closure in 1984. Several other companies lay claim to having invented the first drive-thru restaurant, including the In 'N Out burger chain, which didn't open a drive-thru until 1948, and Jack in the Box, founded in 1951. Fans of trivia may be interested to know that the first drive-thru business establishment was not a restaurant, but a bank, the City Center Bank in Syracuse, New York, which opened a drive-thru in 1928 for the convenience of busy bank customers.
