Joe Williams of Carthage, Texas, opened the DeSoto Drive-In on September 1, 1952 with Susan Hayward in “Tulsa” (unknown if extras added). Claude Younger took the role as manager of the theater two weeks after opening. It was still open in the 1980s.

Did you need a DeSoto car to go to this drive-in?
