According to Google Maps, the “Former Frontier Village Site” is a historic landmark with the address of 200 Edenvale Ave, San Jose, CA 95136. It’s inside the Edenvale Garden Park.
I went looking for the date of the name change, and I remain confused. The first reference I could find in the San Jose News to “Frontier Auto Movie” was in its movie listings column in April 22, 1964. However, the drive-in’s advertisement in that issue was for the “Frontier Drive-in Theatre”.
The last mention of the Frontier Auto Movie that I could find in the San Jose News was on May 22, 1973, showing “The Folks at Red Wolf Inn” (AKA “Terror at Red Wolf Inn”) and “Frenzy”. The Frontier was absent from the News' listings the next day.
The “Frontier Village Drive-In Theatre” opened on April 18, 1962 with “Experiment in Terror”. Grand opening ad from the San Jose News uploaded here.
