The June 10, 1950 issue of BoxOffice included the Thomas Drive-In, Kingfisher, 300 cars, owned by John Thomas, on a list of drive-ins scheduled to open later that month. It opened on July 5, 1950 with Lois Butler in “Mickey”.
The 1952 Theatre Catalog listed the Thomas Drive-In with a capacity of 250, owned by Don Abernathy.
The Motion Picture Almanac included the Thomas Drive-In, 250 cars, owned by John Thomas, through its 1961 edition and dropped it in 1962.
Today, nothing remains of the drive-in. A small manufacturing plant occupies the site.
