The Gastonia Drive-In opened its gates on May 12, 1948 with the Marx Brothers in “A Night At Casablanca” along with an unnamed cartoon and comedy, and was renamed the Sunset Drive-In on July 14, 1950.

The Sunset did receive multiple incidents in the 1970s and 1980s, many of which were operators getting arrested for obscene movies being played on screen. The Sunset Drive-In was still open in the 1980s but was demolished in the 1990s.

The theater itself was 1401 Neal Hawkins Rd, Gastonia, NC 28056.
