Here is a November 1962 newspaper ad:

Original name!
Now S and S Portable Buildings and UHaul.
The address for this Drive-in is 2922 Ellisville Blvd Laurel, Mississippi 39440.
The Rebel is located further south. Note: This address does not properly map on Google maps. This is the address as there are several portable buildings on this property. Some ramps are still visible.
Actually a closer address is 5464 US-11, Ellisville. The drive-in was next to the plaza motel, the roadside marquee still stands and the remains of the concession building also remain.
