Cleaners, old days people drove up honk the horns cleaner came out and got the dirty laundry and a wave. Paid when customer returned days later for pick-up.
Thats how I envision it.
A&W. They had these drive ups. Do not leave the car, driver rolls down the window and orders thru the mic/speakers. Food brought out via waitress on skates. 1950's.

I believe, through my readings and research, the drive thru was created sometime in the early 1400's by a man named Guttenberg. It was called Corn on the Cob Drive Thru.

probably the first person who was too lazy to go inside and get the food...he/she decided it would be nice to drive to a window and have someone hand the food out.

I think that it was invented in the 1940's.

I am sure that that will be an impossible answer to get since no one is 100% sure
