That is too cool! What state is this in?
Ya I remember that one...kinda. It was barley pop and kissy face at some of those shows.
The thing with the Texas CSM is that it was better on the outdoor screen than in a show house.
I am of the opinion air conditioning and daylight savings time slowly strangled the drive-in theaters. Nice to know a few still survive.
Sit back with a case of beer and a quart of Boone's farm wine and.
Either in his 57 nomad or my 65 dodge. His had a 327 with dual quads on a high riser and mine was a 440 magnum with three deuces. Both with four speeds.

Today’s drivers are being sold tiny cars with no room. No room for sex/making out (Elvis said there’s no room to rhumba in a sports car) but it’s not a good spot to sit for 2+ hours anyhow anymore.
And the existing drive-ins have had to “upgrade” (buy new) equipment as the studios are all going to digital projection and distribution.
I have 3 of them near my house.
Drive ins dont necessarily have the window hanger speakers (or heaters) any more. They transmit an FM signal and you listen on the radio.
Its still a better experience at the drive in. The last couple of movies I went to in the theater, I wound up sitting near some brood sow with the endless trough of corn just corking and swilling with her mouth open like she had never eaten before. There was also the enjoyment of some moron dancing in an aisle at one show with of course a chorus of idiotic friends egging him on. When youre real lucky you get to sit by the kids who dont like the movie and play games on their phones.
