I don’t remember the Spade Drive In in Levelland looking that way, however I left down in 68.
One cool looking screen tower!
I also found it parked 250 cars and in 1956 it was owned by W.B.Blankenship.

The above address will map to the location of the drive-in, which is located northeast of the intersection.
Here is a 1962 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS:
