Opened prior to 1953, this was a popular drive-in, located in the San Fernando Valley. There was an article published about it in Westways, the AAA magazine. The drive-in can be seen in the film "Ski Party," in a scene where Frankie Avalon and Dwayne Hickman take their dates to the movies.

Thanks Ken Mc.
This Drive-in parked 650 cars and was owned in 1956 by Sero Enterprises.
Now a parking lot for Bally’s, CVS, and a supermarket.
I used to go to the Victory all the time. First with my parents and later with dates. I remember Ludlows, a driving range across the street. It had a pretty decent restaurant. I’ve eaten there many times
Can anyone clarify the post above from 2008 which mentions the Drake Drive-in as being an adult theatre? Does that post indicate it was an adult drive-in, or an indoor?
If it was in fact a drive-in, where was it located and during what years was it operating?

I am going to try to post the program info recording for the Victory I made in 1969. We went later to see the features.

I used to set the marquee at the Victory drive-in in 1969. I was 19-years old and I had just bought my 1st home on Atoll Ave (about 3-blocks away) for $19,000. My house payments were $94 a month and my 3 hour a week job of setting that marquee more than made my house payments. When I was 15-17 yrs old, I set the marquee at the Mesa Theater on Crenshaw and Slauson in South Los Angeles. My older brother was the Asst Manager at that theater.
