I think the rectangular building IS the concession building, the size is about the same and position is the same. It however has been turned into a garage or storage shed.
Half of the site is Celebration Church, who look like they have renovated the snack bar building and use the ramps as a car park. The other half is Dowell Windows who use some of the ramps as a storage yard. Also the base/foundation of the ticket box looks like it still remains along the entrance driveway for the church.
The site is mostly vacant, the entry/exit road partially remains and the foundation of the concession/projection building remains along with some ramps.
Capacity was 400 according to the site in the first comment, after looking at the photos I’m sure its the same location – the soccer(?) courts next door are still there.
The location of this one is labelled as “Praça Oito” on Google Maps. If the above website is talking about the same site then this drive-in opened in 1975 and closed in 2007 with “Lions for Lambs”. This matches up with the images on Google Earth which show the site as demolished after 2007 with what looks like only the screen skeleton remaining. Also the entrance/exit appears to be bricked up with a wall. I think this should be changed to closed and demolished.
I don’t think this one lasted very long, looks like it was closed by the early 60’s.
There’s also a bail bonds business next door, prime location! Historical aerials show the drive-in there in 82 and gone in 96.
The foundation of the concession stand also remains.
The long rectangular building is the American Inn and there’s a Mexican restaurant next to it on the lot.
The screen looks like it fell down and stayed in the lot until late 2004.

A more accurate address is 10701 I-20 Frontage Rd, Merkel, Texas.
The screens and possibly the original concession stand were there in 1996 but by 2005 they were gone.
The property is now McCamey RV Park, approximate address is 1673 ST, US-385, McCamey, TX
The concession building was still there as of December 2018 but in poor shape, looks like the roof has collapsed.

They seem to have room for 6 fields, hopefully they expand to that one day.
this actually looks pretty cool, looks like she built a drive-in on her property. Nice work!
The listed address of this one is actually Cnr. Tait St. and Smyths Rd. Delecombe.
it looks like there’s also a large ariel on the site, possibly a mobile phone tower?
a 1990’s aerial shows a race track surrounding the drive-in.
Site is now a private residence, it looks like they kept the concession building and converted it into housing or storage.
The proper address,at least that works with Google is actually 2008 U.S. 36, Bainbridge, IN 46105. Only the driveways remain.

The screen and projector building stood until the late 90’s, Google Earth shows them still there in 1998 but gone by 2003.
The projection building appears to still exist along with the entrance and exit roads.

This looks like its fairly new, it also appears to be used as a car park during the day.
