To clarify, the Mustang was originally called the Sunset Drive-In. It’s been in the same location its entire existence. The reference to Belmont, Ontario is correct as that was the small town it was part of until London, Ontario annexed and absorbed it.
Its Facebook page says “The Mustang drive-in was built in 1953 purchased by Premier operating in 1973 and twined in 1976. … Screen #1 the "Twilight” has capacity of 525 cars and Screen #2 “Skyview” has a capacity of 305 cars."
CinemaTour says the Mustang “AKA: Sunset Drive-In” was built in 1950.
My 1959-63 Motion Picture Almanacs don’t show the Sunset in London, but in Belmont about 4 miles away, capacity 500, owner or booker W. C. Manning. It wasn’t listed in the 1953-54 MPA, which doesn’t prove anything. The MPAs listed as the Sunset in Belmont through at least 1976.
