This was apparently located at the current address of 17038 Centreville-Constantine Rd, Constantine. The earliest aerial from 1955 shows possibly remains of a drive-in, but if it closed in 1952 then that would make sense.
Actual opening date is July 3, 1948.
The address is problematic because of several large trees on the southern half of the property in the 1955 aerial. It would take a good decade or more for trees to grow that size, which would rule it out as being a possible location for the drive-in.
Admittedly, my search of the 1955 aerial doesn’t find anything resembling a drive-in either in or near the town that I could find. If the drive-in was still standing in 1961 as the description states, then more information is needed to locate it.
