Opened as 1950 as the Route 6 Drive-in. Route 6 became Route 46 later on.

The address is 189 US Highway 46, Saddle Brook, NJ which places it right in the middle of where the drive-in was located. This would be on the NE or back side of the property well away from the street.

From aerial photos, the drive-in was still present in 1970, but by 1979 it had been demolished.

Today, a Wal-Mart sits where the drive-in was located. Nothing remains, save arguably for the outline that is on three sides of the Wal-Mart. http://tinyurl.com/ycz22lpf

In this ad from April 1964, check out the classy features playing at the Route 46. I think people really were smarter back then :) In fact all 5 drive-ins had quite a selection of good movies to choose from:

When did this close and when was it demolished?

Anyone know anything about the Paramus drive in? It’s not listed on this site as far as I know…
