JWMovies is correct, the address (at least for Google) is 3090 Lexington Road, Nicholasville, KY. Today, “The Boot Store” along with a few other businesses sit on the property, but you can still see some of the ramps.

According to the Google Street Map taken in October, 2015, the screen still stands. Also, a 2013 aerial photo shows the screen standing as well. So perhaps Hurricane Sandy didn’t blow it down.
The actual address (at least for Google) is 332 U.S. 270, Krebs, OK. Although demolished, you can still see the outline and ramps.

A 1955 Aerial Map shows what appears to be the remnants of a drive-in located at County Road 124 and Old Wister Highway, Poteau, OK south of the town. It was located one block to the SE of the intersection on County Road 124.
Today, the property is occupied by radio station KPRV-AM you can still see what appears to the be the ramps and perhaps the screen foundation near the road.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 1250 Cumberland Falls Hwy, Corbin, KY. Today, a private business sits on the property with little trace of the drive-in remaining save for a few ramps, the marquee, and possibly the projector booth/concession stand.

The correct address (at least for Google) is 6187 Lake Avenue, Elyria, Ohio as previously indicated by Bill Eichelberger. The screen is still standing, but that is the only remains of the drive-in.

Side Note: The description states that the large tower the drive-in was named after “shares the space” which is incorrect. You can see the tower just to the SE of the drive-in, but it never was on the same property. I know, it’s probably too picky to change, but I thought I’d point that out.
And a projection booth as well (forgot about that). Still, if they used the area near the hangers or on the airstrips itself, there may be no discernible trace of a drive-in remaining.
I looked at a 1952 aerial photo of the location that Yakima1 cited and there is no evidence of a drive-in scar at that time. So, I do not believe that is the location.
An aerial photo of the field in 1944 compared to the 1952 aerial shows virtually no change at the base. A little research shows that the field was abandoned shortly after WWII, but was not purchased by the city until 1947.
This may sound a little weird, but what if the drive-in was actually part of the field itself in some manner? If they used the paved area for parking, all they would need to do is set up a screen and speakers.
The address (at least for Google) is 5070 Brandin Ct, Fremont, CA. Today, there are a series of businesses on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

I cannot speak to whether Elkhart extended into Oklahoma in 1958, but at least according to Google it does now. There is also no other nearby town in Oklahoma where the drive-ins could be associated.
For mapping purposes, the correct address should be Elkhart, Oklahoma.
The address should read Elkhart, Oklahoma and not Kansas since the drive-in sits on the Oklahoma side of the border. It appears that the town of Elkhart crosses the border much like Kansas City is in both Kansas and Missouri.
The location of the drive-in is Elkhart, Oklahoma, not Kansas. Google maps it as Elkhart, Oklahoma which means that it crosses the border much like Kansas City does.
A closer address is HWY 95 and US 56, Elkhart, OK. The drive-in is located about ¼ mile to the south of the intersection on the east side of HWY 95. Today, it is private property, but you can still make out the faint ramps.

A closer address is HWY 95 and Road B, Elkhart, OK. The drive-in can be seen just to the west of the intersection on the south side of Road B. Today, it appears to be private property, but the ramps are clearly present.

This is interesting. There are remnants of TWO drive-ins visible and very near each other. One is located on HWY 95 just south of Elkhart on the east side of the road. The second is a little further south at the intersection of HWY 95 and Road B, sitting on the south side of Road B.

They both existed and operated at the same time in the early 1970s which seems extraordinary since the tiny town of Elkhart had to have supported them both.
Another potential issue is that both drive-ins are located in Oklahoma. So, the proper map designation would be for Oklahoma, not Elkhart, Kansas. Unfortunately in terms of Google, I cannot get it to map accurately to either drive-in.
It seems unlikely that they are BOTH the Tuscan Drive-In since they both appeared to be operating at the same time in the early ‘70s. However, I really do not know.
The address (at least for Google) is 9203 Ohio 136, West Union, OH. Today, a few businesses sit on the property. Apart from the general outline, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

You can still see the ramps clearly, otherwise there is nothing remaining of the drive-in. Interesting that the land has not been purchased and used for another purpose.
A closer address (at least for Google) is 37152 U.S. 62, Malden, MO. The drive-in sat on the west side of the road. Today, a mixture of mobile homes and other items are present with no indications of the drive-in remaining.
