The Hi-Way 51 opened on May 1, 1948. Located on Darlington Rd. north of the Beaver County Airport. Last known night of operation as Hi-Way 51 (per newspaper listings) was August 28, 1967. Sometime thereafter, Monessen Amusements bought the drive-in, did a complete renovation, and renamed it Super 51 which opened June 26, 1969 (See that title in the listing for description)

I wish I had more for you guys, but i can add in 1956 it held 500 cars and was owned at that time by Wincek & Tate. There was also a SPOTLIGHT DRIVE IN there that capacity was 608 and was owned by HANNA THEATRE SERVICES.
