Found It.

The address is 2652 Lincoln Hwy E, Downingtown, Pennsylvania.

The drive in was located NE of Coatesville along Route 30. A 1950 aerial shows the drive in still in the construction phase. It was still intact and seemingly active in a 1969 aerial. However, by 1981 it had been demolished.

Today, a strip mall sits on the front part of the property with three stores. The back part is overgrown with trees. There is no trace of the drive in visible on Google Maps today, but some of the ramps may still exist under the trees.
