Opened in 1966 as the Mission Drive-In. This was another Pacific drive-in that closed in the 1980’s.

Advertised as New Valley Drive In, September 1979, with four screens. Address was 3840 Mission Avenue.
This theater opened on 24 August 1966. I confirmed this by searching through microfilm records at the Oceanside Public Library. The films shown that first night were “Assault on a Queen” and “The Last of the Secret Agents?”. The theater’s original name was the Mission Drive-In Theater. Within the first year of operation the name had changed to the Mission San Luis Rey Drive-In.
I have started compiling photos and information about this theater on this blog site:

Is this the multi-screened drive in that appears at 33.2211°N 117.3402°W (TopoZone coordinates cutnpasted into Google Earth)?
Great photos of the mens room.
The address was 3480 Mission Avenue.
If you go to that address – sorry for not noticing it earlier, ken mc – it looks like it’s actually four screens.
Thanks PaulB.
PLEASE UPDATE THE ADDRESS TO 3480 Mission Avenue. Now Oceanside Swap Meet.
The original address for this drive-in was 3460 Mission Avenue. This was before the expressway was put in. You can still see part of the old entrance road across from the newer one.
NOW YOU SHOULD BE REALLY CONFUSED!
