Found it! The closest address I could get is
1291 Totuskey Church Rd, Warsaw, VA. The drive-in (and small track) can clearly be seen in a 1967 aerial photo.
Today, it is private property that sits on the south side of the road with two houses and no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A more accurate address for Google Maps is Old Quicksand Road and Turner Drive, Jackson, KY. The drive-in was located just to the west and is now a trailer park.
The entrance road is now Yunk Street where it meets Old Quicksand Road, but I could not get that to map.

The address (at least for Google) is 205 New Jersey 72, Manahawkin, NJ. Currently, a Kohl’s and Bed, Bath, and Beyond sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Google Maps operates in the present, not the past. For location purposes, the address that correctly maps directly on the property should be used if accuracy is the primary factor.
It should be noted that Lodge Road did not exist in 1962 as the topo map indicates, so it cannot be the original address of the drive-in.
The use of cross streets in this case is closer, but not as close as 101 Lodge Rd, Hiawatha, KS which as the map indicates is smack-dab center of the property itself and is virtually next to where the projection booth/concession stand was located.
Naturally, it is up to the site administrator as to which address to use. IMO, accuracy is the most important factor when it comes to locating the property with Google Maps which means using modern addresses, not historic ones or cross-streets that are not as accurate.
A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 101 Lodge Rd, Hiawatha, KS.
This places it square in the middle of where the drive-in once stood. With the old entrance gone and the roads around the area radically changed, the 101 Lodge Rd address is correct one to locate the property on Google Maps.

A more accurate address (at least for Google) is
202 W 17th St Larned, KS.
You can still see the faint outline of the drive-in to the north and east of the Four Seasons Village Apartments which sits in the middle of where the drive-in once stood.

The address provided by JWMovies is incorrect. It misses the property by ¼ mile to the east.
1761 Rd G, Emporia, KS is the current address of the property. The Google marker clearly indicates it as it sits right next to the projector booth/concession stand.

When the entrance to the property changed from US 50 to Road G, it changed the address of the property.
For accuracy purposes (at least for Google Maps), please change the address back to 1761 Rd G, Emporia, KS.
A closer address (at least for Google) is
6522 Kitsap Way, Bremerton, WA. Today, the Kitsap Service Center sits on part of the property.
You can still see a partial outline of the drive-in just to the west of the building and parking lot, but otherwise no trace remains.

Most of the drive-in sat just to the south of where Eastlick Trucking is located. You can still see a few hints of ramps, the screen foundation, and the projection booth/concession stand appears to be intact.
A closer address (at least for Google) is 806 28th Street, Milford, IA. Today, a housing edition occupies the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The property appears to be a pumpkin patch. Other than the general outline, there is nothing left of the drive-in save for a little of the entrance/exit road on the SE side.
A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 978 IA-14, Knoxville, IA which is next to the entrance.
Today, the property itself is empty with little indication that a drive-in once existed apart from the general outline.
A building sits where the projection booth/concession stand once stood. However, the building appears newer and does not have the requisite holes in the wall for the projectors.

A slightly more accurate address (at least for Google) is 3324 S. State Street, Ionia, MI.
This is not to be nit-picky, but instead to avoid confusion with the recent opening of Danny Boy’s Drive-In Movie Theater which sits on the opposite side of the road and just to the south.
Today, Capital Equipment sits on the property, but you can still see some of the ramps.

The address is considerably off. According to the ad in the paper seen in the photo section, the Cinema 40 Drive-In was located at the junction of US 40 and HWY 231. Which, as the ad indicates, is roughly 30 minutes from the town of Greencastle.
Today, the address (at least according to Google) is 5201 North Main Street, Cloverdale, IN 46120 which sits to the west of South Putnam High School. The entrance/exit road and foundation for the projector booth/concession stand still exists. However, there is very little evidence of the drive-in remaining.

A closer address (at least for Google) is County Road 475 and Highway 385, McCamey, TX. Today, the screen is gone, but you can clearly see the ramps.
I would submit that the Ford Drive-In which only lasted a few years is the one on the south side. This is because the drive-in with the screen is found on a 1974 topo map is most likely the Penn Drive-In.

Although I could not get a precise address, US 60 & Airport Rd, Marion, KY is right next to the property.
Today, it is the home of the Animal Practice of Marion. You can easily see the ramps and outline of the drive-in. http://tinyurl.com/gmqz9xx
On Google Street View, it appears that the old marquee is still up.
I respectfully disagree with Drive-In 54.
