Loved the ad. It looks like an early Budco Theatres ad.
Seems like I grew up on the Lincoln Drive In lot. I hail from Somerton, about 2 mi. from the theater. My most memorable experience was a 1968 date with my future wife. We went to a $1.00 a carload dawn to dusk horror fest. The first couple movies were horrible and we were “comfortably numb” when Night of the Living Dead came on. That woke us up…fast! There was a full moon framing the ever creepy Max Security bldg and some out-buildings of Byberry Mental Hospital. Lethal combination…I did 70 MPH down Roosevelt Blvd til I cleared Byberry Rd. NOLD is still my favorite movie.
This opened on April 2nd, 1948. ad posted on this page.
In the early 80’s it was still open showing porn double features.
As a child, I remember going to the Lincoln with my parents. Later with my friends for a $1.00 a carload. (The ‘Blue Light’ cabins were next door).
The Lincoln Drive-In Theatre was located at 2407 Lincoln Hwy., Trevose, PA. Today, it is part of The Neshaminy Interplex Business Center. In fact, the entrance to the Interplex is approximately where the entrance was for the drive-in. 2707 Roosevelt Blvd./Lincoln Hwy. would put the drive-in somewhere in Roosevelt Memorial Park — a cemetery. Sorry calcync, I think you fell asleep. The “Night of the Living Dead” ended!
The address on the header is the correct one. Look at the grand opening ad. It says Rt. 1…. Rt.1,Roosevelt Blvd, Lincoln Hwy are all the same road. If you using goggle maps they are off sometimes.
TheALAN…What are you talking about? I was there, then, when I said I was. I don’t know the address, but I didn’t need to, as I was a weekly visitor. I fell asleep??? Whaaa?
Opened with “Jack London” and “Buck Privates”.
The Lincoln flipped its format from mainstream to adult films in 1979. The Lincoln closed for the final time on September 15, 1984.
