I have a possible location, 459 S. Ash, Nowata, OK

A 1959 entry in the Nowata Daily Star states that Chester Fleming, the owner of the now-defunct Park-Vu drive-in on US 169 leased the land for a trailer court to be constructed.

Given the description, that trailer court was opposite Jack Gordon Park. The article states that the trailer court would have gas, electric, water, and sewer service, so the location makes sense.

A 1971 aerial photo shows several trailers placed close together at that location, but no trace of a drive-in. Today, there are still a few trailers on the site.
