Some sources list the Silver Dollar Twin Drive-In as opening in 1948. Judging from vintage photos it appears that this was quite a large theatre. Styling was of clean line Modern.
What do you know about the Silver Dollar?

The Related Websites link isn’t working. I don’t know when this drive-in was twinned but the 1980 IMPA lists a Silver Dollar Drive-In with a capacity for 800 cars.

Thanks. That link works. I wonder if this actually had two screens or were they referring to two movies being shown in 1948.
A third screen was later added,it closed when Syufy entered the area
