The Cardinal Drive-In was opened May 7, 1953 with Rosemary Clooney in “The Stars are Singing”. Car capacity was listed at 550 cars. Malco operated this drive-in until its closing on October 4, 1981 with Barbara Bach in “The Unseen” & Marin Shaker in “The Children”. It has since been demolished.
The drive-in was located on the corner of Old Hartford Road & Triplett Street. Difficult time getting it to map. There is a strip shopping center along Triplett Street and there is an open field behind the buildings where the drive-in was once laid out.

This opened on May 7th, 1953. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
The theater was listed as “Closed Until Further Notice” after the October 4, 1981 showings “The Unseen” and “The Children.” We are still awaiting a potential reopening date in 2025.
