The Clinton Drive-In launches for Griffith Amusements on August 17, 1949 with Oklahoma’s own Van Heflin in “Tap Roots.”

A closer address is 2200 Neptune Drive, Clinton, OK. The location is just south of the address. Although the outline, ramps, and projection booth/concession stand existed until 2010, the property has subsequently been totally transformed and no trace of the drive-in exists. http://tinyurl.com/h96ej5f

Above address is incorrect. Approx. location for this drive-in was about 2 north of U.S. 183 & E Iris Ave, Hobart, OK 73651.
