This drive-in was located on Dickerson Pike (then called Dickerson Road) in Nashville. It opened in 1949 and closed in the mid to late-1970’s. A Sam’s wholesale club was built on the site, then a local television station is at the site. It was a good-sized drive-in with a capacity 600 cars, and was operated by Crescent Amusement Co.
Anyone with more info on this drive-in, please submit.

The Skyway Drive-in opened in 1949 showing the movie called “Red Canyon”. The car capacity was around 600. The location given is Dickerson Road and Maplewood Ln. On a modern map, that shows as Dickerson Pike (31W) and Maplewood Ln. This is a link to an opening day ad:
