The Foothill Drive-In dates back to the late-1940’s, judging by aerial photos taken at that time. Capacity was 675 cars. The drive-in has been torn down and replaced by a shopping center.

Pacific Theatres ran this drive-in until its closure in 1989. All the Pacific drive-ins in the San Bernardino County closed at,roughly,the same time.
Here is a 1983 photo:

When I used to go to the Foothill Drive In I was waited on by Twyla Tharp. Twyla was the daughter of the owner. She became quite a famous choreographer.
