The Motor Vu was listed as under construction in nearby El Centro in the 1948-49 Theatre Catalog. It was listed under El Centro in the 1949 Film Daily Year Book list, which shifted it to Imperial for its 1950 edition.
A 1980 topo map showed the Motor Vu with just one screen, but a 1996 aerial photo showed both of them.
As of May 2019, Google Street View showed the sign, screens, and poles intact.
The Motor Vu Twin might have been the last drive-in operating in Imperial County, but it was not the only one the county ever had. There was also the Family Motor Vu Drive-In at Brawley, only a few miles north of Imperial.
