Aha! I finally found the remains of the old Lincoln, intact except for the screen, in a 1956 USGS photo. At some point they reworked the intersections near there, but the site is the large open field south of 1311 South Beason Road (AKA County Road 1500 N), so that makes a better address.

Another view of the end of the line was in the April 3, 1954 issue of BoxOffice: “LINCOLN, ILL. – The trailer home of William Youngblood, manager of the Lincoln Drive-In, was among those wrecked in a recent windstorm, which also demolished the screen of the Lincoln.”
