As the posters in the photo section clearly state, that drive-in was located WEST of Vincennes and towards Lawrenceville, IL. It has a page on Cinema Treasures already.
Whatever this drive-in was opened prior to 1958. But was closed and demolished by 1972.
The drive-in sat immediately south of the trailer park. It is now an open field.
The projection booth appears in a 2008 Google Street View, but was gone by 2013. It appears that the land has been resurfaced or at least landscaped. All traces of ramps and foundations are gone.
The only remnant of the drive-in remaining are bits of the entrance and exit roads.
A community care center has been built on the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining that I can confirm.
There is a power pole that has a light on top which is present in a 2008 Google Street View next to the entrance of the driving range. That pole might have been there when it was a drive-in. But I cannot say for sure.
The entrance road and foundation of the screen remain. Along with the brick pylons on either side of the entrance to the drive-in. However, they have been hidden by overgrowth.
The Victory Drive-In and Dixie Drive-In seem to be one and the same.
There was no drive-in at the 3016 East Victory Dr. Savannah, GA address. Although the Palm Drive-In sat just north of that location.
Plus, the Dixie Drive-In supposedly closed in 1955. And yet a 1974 aerial shows the drive-in intact and appearing operational. Which would be most unusual for a drive-in that had closed almost 20 years earlier.
If the Dixie Drive-In only lasted a few years, was it renamed the Victory Drive-In?
That would make some sense as a 1974 aerial shows the drive-in not only intact, but looking operational. This would’ve been almost 20 years after the Dixie Drive-In supposedly closed.
So, either the Dixie Drive-In lasted well into the late 1970s or it was renamed. The location given for the Victory Drive-In on its page is not correct, that was the Palm Drive-In.
Today, the property is occupied by Wayside Body Shop with no trace of the drive-in remaining. The current marquee of the body shop was not from the drive-in. The new marquee sits where the projection booth/concession stand once stood.

Just about every remnant of the drive-in has been wiped out. Only pieces of the exit road remain.
On the side of The Listening Room, which sat next to the entrance of Wal-Mart, was a mural of the Twilite marquee and not the marquee itself.
By 2016, the business had changed hands and the mural was removed.
