I remember going there when we lived with my dad circa 1967/68. I remember seeing The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I remember the mosquito PIC’s on the car dash and placing the speaker inside the car. Great memories.

I went to the Thunderbird all through my high school years at Spring Branch High. I took many girls there including my first wife when were still in school. I miss them both.

I went to the Thunderbird Drive-In from 1973 until around 1977 before it closed down and demolished to build a Safeway warehouse/business park complex. It had a large colorful neon thunderbird on the screen facing out to Clay Road. Towards the end, it was only open during spring/summer/early fall in its last couple of years of operation.
