The Cherry Pass Drive-In opened in 1950, and was operated by Sero Amusements, with space for 500 cars. My thanks to William for the additional information.

The actual address of this Drive-In was 1501 East 6th Street. From a map quest image … What appears to be the Snack Bar and Projection Booth are still there.

Here is a Cherry photo.
The October 21, 1950, issue of Boxoffice Magazine carried an item saying that the Cherry Pass Drive-In had begun operation. It was being managed by Sol Levin for the owners, Beau-Ban Enterprises. The theater featured a double box office pavilion, children’s playground, dance floor, and a 60 foot screen. It was one of many drive-ins designed during the era by Los Angeles architect J. Arthur Drielsma.
The Cherry Pass Drive-In was advertised in the LA Times from June 1951 to March 1967.
Only lasted 16 years!
It may have lasted into the early 70s. Architect should be updated per Joe Vogel’s information of 12/15/08.
The property is used for swap meets and the occasional circus.
