A huge towering marquee that can be seen for blocks, the sign for the Winchester Drive-in Theatre features a cowboy sporting a Winchester rifle. Too bad they don't make 'em like this anymore.

(Below) The Twin Drive-in features a fantastic marquee in the entranceway, complete with overhanging arch that leads the way to the theater. This unique sign is a welcome reminder to the era when it was ok to use artistic elements and scripting to catch the eye of prospective customers. An era when resort looks and cookie-cutter mentality were yet to become the norm.

(Below) Here are a couple of photos of the Chief Drive-in Theatre of Topeka, KS. The story on the Chief sign is interesting. The drive in itself is gone. The sign was going to be destroyed and Wal*Mart stepped in and purchased it. It is now positioned in front of the Wal*Mart on 37th St., in Topeka, KS. 10-05

This little fella was found perched on an old speaker post at this abandoned drive-in theatre just outside of Oklahoma City. You can almost here the little guy saying "whooo... whooo are you?" 02-08
