Operating by 1955, the Crab Orchard Drive-In makes Cinema Treasures because of an advertisement I saw in the September 7, 1964 edition of Boxoffice. It was one of many drive-ins getting the Golden Hot-Shot car heaters installed by Eprad Theatre Supply.

I came here in the early 80s and saw a double feature of FLASHDANCE and FOOTLOOSE.
