Compton Drive-In T-Shirt (Heavyweight)

The Compton Drive-In in Compton, California, had its grand opening on January 6, 1950, on Rosecrans Avenue, with Western stars in person and room for 1,196 cars. Its screen tower carried a big painted mural of a Viking ship under a striped sail, a local landmark for decades.

In 1960 the theater won a temporary injunction over bright lights next door that were spoiling the picture. The last show was on January 7, 1995. A church reportedly used the site for a time, and houses now stand there.
