A better address is 48 Poland Spring Rd, Auburn, ME.
Google Maps has updated their addresses. This lines up with the entrance of the drive-in.
Today, the property has three residential homes with a large open portion covered by trees. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

My old, fallible reference books point to the renaming from the Danville to the Auburn in the late 50s / early 60s.
