Gulf Drive-In Long Sleeve T-Shirt

The Gulf Drive-In in Corpus Christi, Texas, opened on January 21, 1949, on South Port Avenue, with a big seagull mural on the back of its screen tower. It grew to 750 cars in 1952, when a mermaid replaced the gull, and showed Spanish-language films from 1968.

In its last years, residents of a housing project with a clear view of the screen complained about the films, and a court stepped in. The last show was on November 5, 1978. An arsonist destroyed the empty theater in 1981, and a Home Depot now stands there.
