The Drive-In was opened by 1950. The Hillcrest Drive-In was still open in 1974. Following Hillcrest Drive-In information is courtesy of web site roadsideoklahoma. There are also recent photos of the grounds (car capacity was 300). "Notes: This theatre has been closed for quite a while and is very easy to miss as you approach Lindsay from the north on OK 76. The only remaining feature is the concession stand, which is hidden amongst quite a bit of farm and oil field trash. At the time of my last visit I had a torn ACL so was unable to venture into the lot."

The concession stand/projector booth appears to be standing, although if it is the same building it has been considerably modified. It features a large garage door and windows with no small “projection” windows on the front.
Could be the same building.
Could be a newer building using the same foundation.
I can’t say.
