The Indio Twin Drive-In was one of many theaters owned by Robert L. Lippert. It had a capacity for around 600 cars. The address above is the “modern” location where this drive-in was located. I couldn’t find much information on it, so I hope that other members here can help to fill in the blanks.

This is a topographical map of where the Indio Drive-In was located. Its right where the number “25” is. Compare that map to the Google map above and you should get a good idea where it was located.
Is this the same Robert L. Lippert, film producer/distributor of many noted B-productions?
Yup, same guy. He is credited with 245 movies as producer or executive producer. “Classics?” such as the 1959 ALLIGATOR PEOPLE with Lon Chaney Jr. and Beverly Garland. Who could forget the 1961 SEVEN WOMEN FROM HELL with Patricia Owens and Denise Darcel. How about that 1963 hit called THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH with Kent Taylor and Marie Wilson.

There was also a drive-in in the Palm Springs area, which is now gone. The pictures are from the same website:

Living in Indio in the 70s, we spent many nights at the Drive-In. During warm weather, sitting in Lawn Chairs and Drinking Beer there and at the one in Palm Springs.
What was the name of the Drive-In Theater in Cathedral City on Hwy 111 which was the best in the area during the 70s ?
Answering my own question, it was the Sun-Aire.
Uploaded Goggle Earth 1996. All the links are broken.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 83-791 Date Avenue.
Now Martha’s Kitchen and Village. This property was put to good use after the drive-in closed.
