Located to the south of Show Low, AZ. The Wagon Wheel Drive-In was opened by July 1956. Car capacity was listed at 300 cars. The drive-in closed around 1986.
The drive-in has been demolished and the site is now a medical center.

Although the Wagon Wheel was open by July 1956, its first appearance in the Motion Picture Almanac series was the 1960 edition. It was listed under Show Low AZ, capacity 400, owner Harry L. Nace. The Wagon Wheel’s mentions in the MPA stayed that way through 1976. The 1977-85 MPA lists had the capacity at 300, the owner as Rawlings. The Wagon Wheel fell off the 1986 list.
Historic Aerials has a nice photo from 1967 and a shot of the Wagon Wheel ramps in 1997. By 2005, the outline of the ramps was gone. On the other hand, topo maps showed the drive-in from at least 1963 through 2000.
