Approx. location for this drive-in is FM 3363 & County Road 546, now in Eastland, TX 76448. The theatre stood north of this intersection.
The Dixie was just north of what is now a mobile home park at 117 Co Rd 546, Eastland, TX 76448. It’s not within the Eastland city limits, but Olden is unincorporated and Google Maps uses that Eastland address even for the old Dixie site.
A closer address is 124 Co Rd 546, Olden, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right next to the property, although it does use the same entrance road.
It was still intact and possibly operational in 1965. By 1983 it was demolished. Today, it is private property with no trace of the drive-in remaining save for the entrance road and a pile of rubble that may have once been the projector booth/concession stand.
