The E Wshington address does not map correctly. Use the State road 32. Google maps will have you land right at the box office!

This drive-in was listed as open in 1949 with the name at that time being the Air Line Auto Theatre. By the mid-1970’s it was known as the Air Line Drive-In Theatre.

From the horse’s mouth on Facebook:

It’s Hummel Drive-in. Thanks for asking. As far as we are aware of, it’s the only Hummel Drive-in that is remotely close to this name or spelling, so hopefully the spelling with a “s” or no “s”, won’t confuse people to much! Thanks for reaching out to us and please spread the word.

The drive-in is now called the Hummel Drive-In (Facebook page title) or Hummel’s Drive-In (sign on the concession stand, posted as its Facebookavatar) or Hummels Drive In (title of its web site home page). As of July 2017, it’s only using one screen.

The Air Line Auto (exec: Arthur Kemp, cap. 300) showed up in the 1948-49 Theatre Catalog. The next year, the Catalog listed Kemp as exec of the Winchester Auto Theatre (cap. 400) and Louis Werzel in charge of the Air Line Dr. Wonder what that was about? I don’t have any other mentions of the Winchester, so I’d guess Catalog confusion or ownership transition.

In the 1952 edition, the exec was Mike Make, the capacity 400. By the 1955-56 edition, it was the Airline Auto.

The 1959-88 IMPAs had Make at the Airline Auto (or just Airline), cap. 500.
