The Frontier Drive-In was opened around 1955, when it was operated by Herbert Gumper. It was closed around 1985. Still standing completely intact as of March, 2014.

US 285 at E Rd 11 N

Stumbled across the ruins of the New Frontier Drive In outside of of Center, Colorado while cruising the highway – new pictures in the Photo section. Wonder who got the marquee? No sign of it on the grounds.
Wonder if it showed any of the Star Trek movies?
The sign is being restored: https://centerpostdispatch.com/article/frontier-drive-in-receiving-makeover
The International Motion Picture Almanac said in its 1978 edition that the “New Frontier” was run by E. Bohn, though Edwin Bohn’s obituary called it just the Frontier. Anyway, it fell off the IMPA drive-in list between the 1984 and 1986 editions, so that’s probably when it closed.
A more accurate address for this theater is 101 E Rd 11 N, Center, CO 81125. This points directly to the drive in. Please update.
