Opened on April 8, 1949 with Walt Disney’s “Bambi” along with an unnamed cartoon and comedy.
Also, It appears that this closed in the late-1950s. Both 1959 and 1964 aerial views show the drive-in being completely fading, while the screen is gone by 1964. The drive-in was then covered with trees.
Looks like it closed in 1981.
Found It!
The address is 4905 Wendell Boulevard, Wendell, NC. The drive-in was located just to the northeast of the town on the north side of Wendell Blvd near where it connects with Old Zebulon Road.
A 1964 aerial shows the drive-in intact, although it is difficult to tell if it was still in operation.
Today, the area is overgrown with no trace of the drive-in remaining save for the entrance road which has been renamed “Drive In Lane”.
