July 19th, 1952 ad has been posted here. It was the oldest that I could find.

Thanks for the interesting find Mike! There was also one of these drive-ins in Pinellas Park, FL called Drive-In Cinema that showed only religious films. I had a chance to visit the lot just before the theatre closed a few years back. The booth was equipped with both 16mm and 35mm. Not sure of capacity but it was fairly small. Go to Drive-In Cinema in Pinellas Park to see a YouTube video of the drive-in by posted by FloridaDriveIns.

The Number One drive-in and Skyview Drive-in were also close to this Drive-in,I think it opened during the craze,and once the church crowds left,it closed.traces of all three drive -ins are there if you look,had a friend that even found some old carbon arc rods thrown out in the back.
