Found it! The drive-in was located west of Baker on HWY 12 and Country Road 349 on the SE corner. No trace of the drive-in left, but the property still has the basic outline of the drive-in. https://goo.gl/maps/X6xpg

A better address would be:

Post Saddle Shop. Even though Google maps points southeast of the location, the shop itself is on the theater property.

The address is 7940 US-12, Baker, MT 59313.

Please update.

Boxoffice, May 19, 1956: “J. K. Munsell’s just-completed Baker Drive-In Theatre is open for business. The 230-car outdoorer, four miles west of town, is described as “strictly modern,” with a widescreen specifically built to eliminate distortion from the sides of the parking area.”

A few more details.
