I actually do not know what it is about. But I figure it out from an article from the Iowa City Press-Citizen on February 15th, 1978.

Facts About The Coralville Drive-In:

On October 21st, 1966, 13 Out Of The 300 Speakers Were Damaged In A Single Day.

In 1978, It Was Owned And Operated By The Highway Theater Co. And During The Same Year, The Theater Itself Won A Suit Against The City Itself.

But In My Opinion About The Suit Against The City Though, The Theater Turned Out To Be A Major Changeover 2 Years Later. And They Did As Of September 23rd, 1980; And The Theater However Did Not Reopen The Next Year. The Theater Ended Up Shutting The Gates After The 1980 Season.

Actually, The 67 Drive-In Opened Its Gates On April 7th, 1950 With RKO’s “Tarzan And The Mermaids”. Unfortunately I Can’t Find When The 67 Drive-In Is Closed.

Right In the Middle Of The 1977 Season According To The Daily Chronical, The Theater Tried To Have New Management, But Didn’t Reopened Though. But In 1978, The Location Went Into A Couple Of Problems After Its Closure.

50sSNIPES commented about Bel-Mar Drive-In on Mar 20, 2020 at 9:13 pm

The Bel-Mar (Simply Called Belmir) Drive-In Opened Its Gates On April 18th, 1953 With “Two Tickets To Broadway” And “Prince Or Pirates” (Both Technicolor). Children That Were Under 12 Are Free At The Time. However, Throughout The Years, The Belmir Is Mainly A Sponsor Of Many Softball Games At The Time. At The Time It Was Owned And Operated By Roger Nelson, Who Is Also The Manager.

I Can’t Find A Lot Of Information About It.. But All I Can Remember Is In 1967, A Report From The Boone County Sheriff Saying That Too Many Cars Have Wrecked And Towed At Process, And I Don’t Know When This Location Closed.

For The Information I Can Find, This Snipe Was Dated At Least 1957. I Found Chandler & Co’s Information From 1960 Said That It Served For 69 Years. So This Is Definitely From 1957.
