The flyer would be great..you could scan it and put it on your desk top. In the photos section where it says add photo. Just click on that and find it on your desktop and submit it. Or you could take picture of it and put that on your desk top. Do same thing..
I have 1956 flyer for the fall season saying “Thank you for a wonderful season” at the Motor Movie Drive-In. Other side has my Dad’s name and the date. I also have a newspaper clipping from when Dad resigned the Panida and Motor Movie to form Sandpoint Realty and Insurance. Not clear on how to add those files, or if you’d want them.
Dad had lots of funny stories from the Motor Movie days and the promotions he did to get people out there. He still talked about it when he was 100.
jodylee92..Do you have anymore pictures of the drive-in to share?
Correction: My father, Dale A Lee was the first manager of the Motor Movie Drive-In. I have newspaper clippings and flyers from the Drive-In to prove it. Plus I was there. Mayor Gray became manager later, early 60s.
I have corrected this before. Please change your records.
Opened with three colour cartoons(not named), and “Broken arrow”.
Today, the property is a private residence. You can still see the outline, ramps, and screen foundation clearly.
A building of the same size and shape sits in the same location as the projector booth/concession stand, but does not have the typical holes found with such a building. So, it may be the same, remodeled, or a whole new building.
