From BoxOffice, Jan. 4, 1960: “The Eagles Drive-In, Benavides, gave away a turkey for the holidays. The drive-in, which opened recently, is owned by Leo Pena and Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Pena.”

Slight correction to the address. The drive-in was located near
TX-339 and Pintas Street, Benavides, TX.

The drive-in itself was on Pintas Street less than a quarter-mile east of the intersection on the north side of the road. It appears intact in a 1967 aerial photo.

Today, it is private property where a house once sat, but is no longer there. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
