Opened in 1949, in the 1950’s, this was the place to go in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire. The state’s largest city was home to only two drive-in theatres at one time.
The Manchester Drive-In parked 365 cars making it smaller than many drive-ins located in smaller towns in New Hampshire. It was owned by Edward Lider. By 1957 it was operated by Daytz Theatre Enterprises Corp. It was closed around 1970 and was soon demolished.

I was able to locate two drive-ins in the Manchester area. Neither have Manchester mailing addresses, but they were both located just outside town. Sadly, both have been replaced by Walmart.
North of town:
3 Commerce Dr, Hooksett, NH 03106
West of town:
17 Colby Ct, Bedford, New Hampshire 03110
According to its entry at Drive-ins.com, the Manchester Drive-in was located to the south at 777 S. Willow St., Manchester, NH 03101.
