It may not have lasted five years. A 1951 aerial shows nothing, although it could’ve been built and become operational later that year.
A 1957 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but there is debris on the ramps and rather curiously, the screen seems a little offset compared to the projection booth. However, I cannot say for sure what was happening.
By 1971, the entire drive-in was gone save for the projection booth. And that was gone by 1984.
Drive-ins go out of business for many reasons. It is possible that this one didn’t make the conversion to widescreen which contributed to its demise. But again, that is but a guess.
The Breezway Drive-In was very short-lived. It may’ve closed probably around five seasons after it opened.
