The 300-car Motor-Vu Drive-In, built on old U.S. 30, was first listed in the Film Daily Yearbook of 1954-55. It was listed in the International Motion Picture Almanac through 1988, although is September 1979 it was renamed Twilight Drive-In. An S. Dewsnup of the downtown Canyon/Gaslight Theatre was listed in the Almanac as the operator.
In 2012 the screen was still up and an RV dealership occupied the site.

There are pictures and memorabilia related to the Motor-Vu on its gallery page at Drive-ins.com.
Drive-ins.com website is a disaster!!! I emailed and try to call them with no answer. Glad I found cinema treasures!!
Maybe drive-ins.com started to answer their phone and emails again? CT is alot more user friendly!!
