The Galva Autovue Facebook page says its final night was Sunday, Sept. 6, 2015, with “Inside Out” and “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation”. In 2018, someone stole its marquee sign. Google Street View shows the screens still up, but few other signs of life. Maybe mark this drive-in closed?

A lengthy Copley News Service article, published in the Aug. 12, 2005 issue of the Springfield IL State Journal-Register, provided more details. Justin West, then 41, opened the Galva Autovue and was the projectionist. The screens were 20x48 feet.
