The Sunset Drive-In opened in 1954 by Shumour Theatres with a car capacity listed at 289. Mr. Stan Dewsnup bought the theatre in the 1960’s and it closed in 1976.
It reopened in 1980 as the Motor Vu Drive-In and then in 2007 the property was sold. In 2007 the drive-in burned down and the gravel pit company that owned the property simply expanded their facilities.

Listed in 1975 as the Sunset Drive-In with a capacity for 289 cars. In 1980, the only drive-in listed for Craig, CO is the Romantic Motor Vu Drive-In. At that time the operator was S. Dewsnup. Maybe Romantic Motor Vu Drive-In was a temporary name.

Despite its simplistic architecture, its rough and rustic appearance is amazing! It’s a shame that its no longer standing.
