This opened on February 18th, 1938. I uploaded the grand opening ad and an reprocessed USGS aerial from 1969 here.

My research has found that this was Florida’s first drive-in theatre.
It would be interesting to know how this location is used present day.

The Miami Drive-In opened in 1938 and was advertised as the largest drive-in in the country. It closed in 1977.
