We have a couple here in the Dayton area, and I know of at least one in Cincy. One in Cincinnati...I didn't know that? I grew in in that area.

Classic car show my uncle and cousin had a couple of cars they use to show like that but now my uncle lives here and my cousin lives in San Fran I think he still shows his car he has restored.

the last one in my county was closed last year. it was doing well, but the company bordering it wanted to turn it into a private park for it's employees, so the bought it and tore it down. there's another one about 20 minutes away, tucked between busy railroad tracks and the turnpike, and a few more further out in the hinterlands...

It's actually off 71 near the Red Banks Rd. exit. That was 2 years ago though, so might not be there anymore. Found it: Oakley Drive-In Theater 5033 Madison Rd, Cincinnati, OH 513- 271-4600

I know of one in Gastonia, NC. I went there on a date once. No, nothing happened. It was fun though. You get a double feature and it only cost 8.00 per car. We seen Grid Iron Gang, (Which I had previously went to see with my daughter and her friend in Greenville,SC but was worth seeing again and didn't mind at all) but the first movie was the animated movie Open Season. Wow, I was going blank and while thinking I would have to say I couldn't think of the title, it came to me. It was so funny. Enjoyed that one as well. There is a drive in at Tulsa also. I need to get down there and go one night. Wish they would come back again. Great place to go. At Gastonia, instead of having a speaker, you put your radio on a certain station to hear. They are open until the end of October too up in Gastonia.

I think the majority of them are switching to the radio only. Make sure your battery is charged if you go to the one in Cincy.
