Located to the north of town on TX-137 before you get to the airport and on the east side of the road. The Ford Drive-In was opened by 1955 and was still open in 1957. The outline of the drive-in was still visible in aerial photographs taken in 1965. The drive-in is now under the I-20 and TX-137.

There were two drive-ins theatres in Stanton,TX
The Buffalo DI was located at TX-137 & Co Rd 2300, Stanton, TX
The Ford DI was located under I-20 & TX-137
By 1965 both DI’s were gone.
Appears to have launched March 7, 1952 with “Fort Osage” and “Ghost Chasers” supported by cartoons.
A closer address is 3401 I-20, Stanton, TX.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
A 1957 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but appearing closed as some of the ramps are overgrown with vegetation. By 1965, it had been totally demolished and all traces removed.
Today, the southern half of the property has the I-20 Frontage Road running through it while the northern half is home to Cook Water Station.
