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.

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.
