Plans for the Goetz Theatre Company’s new drive-in on route 69 were being prepared by architect Myles Belongia as early as June, 1952, as reported in the issue of Boxoffice published the seventh of that month. The start of construction was long delayed, and construction itself took nearly a year. Boxoffice of June 5, 1954, reported that the Sky-Vue Drive-In had finally opened on May 28.

BTW……THE SKY VU WAS NOT THE FIRST DRIVE-IN THEATER IN THE COUNTRY TO USE FM RADIO SOUND. IT WASN’T EVEN CLOSE. IT WAS A CLAIM THEY MADE FOR WHATEVER REASON, AND IT STUCK.
