Billboard, Oct. 11, 1954: “A severe rain and windstorm damaged the Twilight Drive-In owned by Lynn Smith, Gonzales, Tex. The wind blew down the screen which probably will not be placed back into operation until next spring.”
Which apparently caused a name change, as described in the June 11, 1955 Billboard: “The name of the Twilite Drive-In at Gonzales, Tex., has been changed to the Apache Drive-In by Lynn Smith, owner. CinemaScope has been installed and the screen tower rebuilt. It was blown down by high winds in 1954.”
A closer address is 2181 US-183, Gonzales, TX 78629.
The address puts it right on the property about where the entrance road use to be.
Today, there is virtually nothing left of the drive-in. However, on the east side of the property you can just make out a hint of the final few ramps in the back.
