I believe I found it.

The address is 2435 Norwood St SW, Lenoir, NC. Aerial photos from 1951 and 1966 show a drive-in at that location.

Today, it is the home of Keens Towing & Recovery. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The projection booth/concession stand is gone. It appears to have been removed by 2011.

Also, while the Google street view of the marquee taken in 2012 shows it to be intact, the satellite view which was taken more recently shows some substantial changes. So, the marquee may look quite different today, assuming it is still standing.

Kenmore commented about Rose Drive-In on Nov 7, 2017 at 2:38 pm

A better address is 801 E Roosevelt Rd, Little Rock, AR, which is currently the location of a Family Dollar store that sits at what use to be the entrance to the drive-in.

A 1970 aerial photo reveals that the Rose Drive-In was twinned at some point. Also, it appears to have been demolished well before 1970.

While most of the property is empty, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The Valley Drive-In was located west of Hotchkiss at 32070 CO-92 Hotchkiss, CO. The drive-in was located on the south side of CO-92.

Today, the entrance is a private residence while most of the property is an open field.

The private home also sits “catty-corner” in the same general area where the projection booth/concession stand was located in a 1964 aerial photo.
