Billboard, Aug. 7, 1954: “In New Cumberland, Pa., Judge Ray P. Sherwood dissolved a preliminary injunction against pickets who held up construction of a drive-in. According to the original complaint, the union demanded that the drive-in bind itself to use only union labor to operate its projection machines when it goes into business. The complainant, the Shore Drive-In Theater, Inc., sought the injunction when construction workers refused to cross the projectionists' picket lines. The drive-in is near the Harrisburg Pa., Municipal Airport.”

Billboard, Aug. 28, 1954: “The Shore Drive-In opened. The spot is next to the Harrisburg Airport in New Cumberland, Pa.”

and then again months later. Billboard, Jan. 1, 1955: “Frank Freistock opened his new Shore Drive-In with a 500-car capacity at New Cumberland, Pa. Milgram Theaters, Philadelphia, is doing the booking and buying.”
