Likely, the idea of drive-through business was an extension of the walk-up windows at various businesses.
The year 1946 saw the inception of drive-through banking, and the first bank to implement it was the Exchange National Bank of Chicago. George D. Sax, chairman, is credited with the innovation.
There are differing claims for which establishment open the first drive-thru. Notable claimants include Red's Giant Hamburgs in Springfield, Missouri (in 1947) and In-N-Out Burger in California (in 1948).

the first drive-through window opened at the Exchange National Bank of Chicago in 1946. But it took McDonald's until 1975 to put this billion-dollar idea into a new context and open their first drive-through.
