Located on the corner of E. Denman Avenue and S. Timberland Drive (Business US 59), the panther was also the name of the high school mascot. This was the principle Lufkin drive-in theater during the 1950’s and 1960’s. Operating into the early-1970’s, the location is now a shopping center near the center of the city.

The Panther Drive-In is listed in the 1975 IMPA with a capacity for 500 cars.
Well, in 1956 it parked 300 cars so it must have enlarged since above it is listed at 500 cars! It was owned by Phil Isley theatres.
Cars were bigger in the 50,sso they could not hold as many,HaHa.
