A 1980 aerial photo from NETR Online shows the drive-in still intact. The extension to 3rd Street was not put in until later. Plus, the property today is a shopping mall with several businesses. The area itself still retains the overall unique shape of the drive-in.

Almost correct.

The address for this Drive-in is actually 2400 Hamner Ave, Norco, CA 92860.

It was taken out by the extension of 3rd Street. Opened 1968, closed 1976. The housing just west of this intersection is where the theater stood. 3rd Street from Hamner to the housing complex was the entrance road.

Please update.

I was thinking it was in Norco and that’s where I looked first. I remember viewing triple features of the Clint Eastwood “Man with no name” films there.

The Drive-ins.com website has an entry for a Crest Drive-in at 2600 Hammer Ave., but locates it in Norco, CA, which is very close to Corona. There is one picture of the theater’s signage there.
