Boxoffice Magazine’s issue of October 25, 1965, gives the opening date of National General’s Thunderbird Drive-In as September 1 that year. It also confirms the car capacity as 1,182, and the architect as Gale Santocono.
This location is in Rancho Cordova. The address Lost Memory posted is correct.
The theater was scheduled for a fall, 1965, opening, according to an item in the May 31, 1965, issue of Boxoffice Magazine. The name had not yet been chosen. The drive-in was being built by National General Corporation, and was slated to accommodate 1,182 cars. The architect was Gale Santocono, of San Francisco.
There is a Thunderbird Drive-In listed for Rancho Cordova. The address was:
11091 Folsom Blvd
Rancho Cordova, CA 95670
That address maps very close to Sunrise Boulevard and US Route 50.
