I’m pretty sure that this first went under the name “Airway Drive-In” before becoming the “Razorback Drive-In” by 1953.
The 1952 edition of Theatre Catalog lists 2-drive-in’s in Little Rock, AR: Asher Drive-In, on Highway 70, operated by Rowley United (650-cars) & Pines Drive-In another Rowley United theatre (500-cars).
In the 1953-1954 edition there were 5 drive-in’s listed: the previous two and a Drive-In with 500-cars operated by Arkansas Amusement Co., Razorback Drive-In, Barber Street & 21st Street operated by Arkansas Amusement Co. (500-cars) and Scenic Drive-In operated by Roy Cochran (500-cars). Also, (Under Construction) was the Rose Drive-In to be operated by G.W. Jones (1,000-cars).
