Last ad for this one appears to be October 31, 1972, with “Kansas City Bomber” and “Skyjacked” as the features.

95 uses some of the drive-in property, Bullens Lane which is where the drive-in intersection with Chester Pike was, goes under 95 in that area now.

If I remember 95 was no where near Chester Pike. Now there was another highway that opened in 1983 The Blue Route which may be what you see

Approx. address for this drive-in was 2001 Chester Pike, Eddystone, PA. Hwy 95 now runs through where the theatre stood.

I remember going to the Chester Pike Drive-In as a child. We would get there before dark and my sister and I would play in the playground, and we even wore our pjs! It was a different and lovely world.

I believe the drive-in was actually in Ridley Township. It was located on Chester Pike hence the name. Was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a movie and your youth. Great snack bar with french fries that came in a wooden tub. Had live music at times and a small playground for kids. I95 runs through part of it now and there is nothing left but the lovely memories.
