The Sunset Drive-In was owned and operated by Louellen Overstreet and opened in 1959. It was a single screen and had a 250 car capacity. It closed in 1976 and part of the site and is now the residence of the former owner. The screen and concession building still stood in 2016. By 2023 only the screen was standing.

This theater is not demolished. In fact, the screen and concession stand/projection booth are still standing. It is, however, located behind someone’s (perhaps the former owner’s) house.
A fine looking drive, even if it has been shuttered a long while.

Nice 1983 picture.
Found it!!
A very close address (at least for Google) is Total Ave, Spiro, OK. The drive-in itself is just to the NE of the intersection of Total Ave and US 59 and behind a residential home.
Remarkably, the screen is still up and appears intact. However, the concession stand/projection booth appears to be worse for wear and even the ramps have faded away, but you can easily see the outline. http://tinyurl.com/j4dsoet
Looks like the land has been either plowed or resurfaced so there is no trace of the ramps or even an outline left. The projection booth/concession stand has basically been demolished with only some rubble left.
However, as of August 2019 the screen is still standing.
A June 2023 Google Street View shows the screen is still standing, although it is disappearing into the trees.
