The Floral Drive-In was opened August 18, 1950. By 1957 it was operated by Aladdin Enterprises. From June 10 1962 it went over to screening Spanish language movies. This was part of the Pacific Theatres chain in the early-1980’s and was still open in June 1981.

What great ads Ken mc.Love them.
I never actually went to a movie there, but I lived a mile away up the hill in Monterey Park. So one of my most vivid childhood memories from the ‘60s is of hearing a chorus of horns honking from the theater whenever the movie would start late or break down. Which was pretty much every weekend night…
