There were two drive-ins theatres in Stanton,TX

The Buffalo DI was located at TX-137 & Co Rd 2300, Stanton, TX

The Ford DI was located under I-20 & TX-137

By 1965 both DI’s were gone.

Drive-In 54 commented about Belmont Auto Theatre on Oct 8, 2018 at 6:39 pm

This sign above the ticket booth is still left from the days when electric car heaters were offered to patrons of the Belmont theater. The heaters allowed the Belmont to be open year round. Unfortunately, they were expensive to run and maintain, so theaters did away with them. Gone were the days of cuddling together on a December night while watching a romantic movie under the stars.

The address is: 2805 Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NM 87701. That address is on the wrong side of the road. The drive-in was located underneath I-25.

Drive-In 54 commented about AutoScope Drive-In on Aug 17, 2018 at 5:56 pm

That is going to be a tuff one to find. I think I know where it was at in looking at early aerials. I think you are correct about using the name “Autoscope” from what I can find. Clark Smith advertised for somebody to gravel/grade a 600 car drive-in on Aug 11, 1956. Found a few ads and Smith held auctions there also. 600 cars is pretty big and should be seemed on aerial views. But not… He was screening movies up to 1966..

Can anybody tell me who operated the Grand after Cinecome Theatres when bankrupt in 1973? It was reopened after that along with the East Side Drive-In. Cinecome was no more..

That is the correct address for it. Don’t go by the little Google map. Click on it and go to the Google map page itself.
