The Parma Motor Vu, with a 250 car capacity, was built by Bill Dobbs in 1953. It is now managed by his daughter, Karen Cornwell, who also lives on the well-maintained property. The drive-in which has FM stereo and is open from April thru October.
Karen and a local car club in late-summer of 2002 made plans for a cruise night, in which more than 150 cars and dozens of Corvettes and T-birds signed up to participate. Karen, who also owns the Linden 3 in Caldwell, notes that 2003 will mark the theater’s 50th anniversary. It converted to digital projection in 2013.

Karen closed the Linden 3 back in 2006.
This place is fantastic! Working here in the snack bar was my first real job! Plus my mom & mother in law both worked here when they were teenagers. Now I actually live right beside it & my kids like to sit on our garage roof & watch the movie! LOL
Nice looking drive-in!!
