This drive-in opened near the Newark airport in the 1940’s, with a capacity for 2,500 cars. It was operated by Redstone Theatres and closed in the mid-1960’s.

I believe that the All Jersey Multiplex Cinemas now sits on the site.

This was the 5th largest drive-in in the US.

This theater did not close in the 60’s. Sometime between 76-83 the theater went from single screen to a 3 screen theater. It closed sometime after 1983 after I left NYC.
