Ted Vaughan and his Glenlea Corporation opened the Fairfield Drive-In featuring a superstructure 100ft CinemaScope screen and a 650-car capacity (listed as 700) on May 18, 1956 with Gary Cooper in “Vera Cruz” along with six unnamed cartoons.

The Fairfield Drive-In flipped its format from mainstream films to adult films in November 1977. This didn’t last long, and the Fairfield closed in December 1978.
