The Starlight Drive-In opened its gates on September 14, 1961, and was owned by Charles Whitman. Less than two years later on June 15, 1963, the original screen supported by steel angle irons anchored in concrete was severely damaged when wind gusts caused the screen to collapse during a storm.

The Starlite closed after the 1984 season.

I’m pretty sure this is the place as this listing:

Appears to have opened in the 1960’s and was open until at least the mid 1980’s.
