The Reagan Drive-In was twinned in 1952. Parking spaces increased to 415 total.
The Reagan Drive-In Theatre was launched on Mary 17, 1949 with the film, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” O.M. Kirkeby also operated the Mertzon Drive-In. It launched with 300-car capacity with a 45' high screen and 49' width before being twinned three years later.
The closest address I can get to the drive-in is US-67 & TX-137, Big Lake, TX.
The drive-in was located about ¼ mile west of the intersection on the north side of US-67. It is on the west side of the airport.
Today, what appears to be a city/county or highway maintenance yard is on the property.
There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
