Great pics, ethereal! Looking at those drive-in restaurants has given me an idea... just thinking out loud.

So, was this Drive-In a chain?
And another question. Where is Lafayette Park? Is it adjacent to Westlake/MacArthur ParK?

You're correct, Lafayette Park is adjacent to MacArthur Park, just west of it.
And Simon's apparently was a chain, I assume. And it looks like they had a monopoly on Wilshire Blvd. Hehe ubiquitous like a Starbucks.
Here's one on Wilshire near La Brea, circa 1945.
