Harbor City is actually a district within the City of Los Angeles, just like San Pedro or Van Nuys or Hollywood. It is part of the LA Strip that runs down to the harbor area. The Harbor Drive-In was likely in unincorporated LA County territory, like my parents home two blocks north of the theater, at 228th St and Vermont Ave. That area uses a Torrance Post Office address but is not part of Torrance, Carson or the City of LA (Harbor City).
