The Sun Drive-In was located on the east side town on U.S. Highway 67 before you get to Highway 3381. It was opened on January 1, 1952, with Sherman L. Hart as the manager. Harold Flemins was the manager in 1953 and from 1956 through 1965, Jack Arthur was the operator. Looks to have closed sometime in the mid to late-1960’s.

A closer address is 7200 US-377, Comanche, TX 76442. This marks the location of Durham’s Pecans, which splits the property with Pate’s Distribution.
There is no trace of the drive-in remaining except arguably the faintest of hints from the old outline, which you can barely see on the Pate’s Distribution side.
