Possibly opened around 1954, the Sunset Drive-In is listed as open in 1955 with a capacity for 400 cars. It closed in 2000.
The screen, concessions stand, & ticket booth are all still standing. It is fenced off, with ‘NO Trespassing’ signs aligned the area!

It parked between 250 and 500 cars and was owned in 1956 by Martin Butler.
Randy, from what I found it closed in 2000. It was operated by Commonwealth Theatres from 1975 thru 1985. Car Capacity was listed at 401 in 1975.

Maybe down the road they are thinking about reopening it in the future.
hispeed54.. Great News! Where did you get this information? Thanx! RAC Photography ..
DIT2001…I just thinking that. I have no information on it. I have seen where the owners have shut a DI down and put it hibernation/fenced for security for a few years to reopen it later on.
how can i meet the owners of this location? this place has had my heart all my life.
From the looks of the Hybrid photo it looks like it could reopen tomorrow.
