Twinkle Star Drive-In Long Sleeve T-Shirt

The Twinkle Star Drive-In in Auburndale, Florida, opened in the fall of 1952 and catered to Black moviegoers in the segregated South. It had room for 328 cars near U.S. 92 and Dairy Road, and by 1956 it belonged to Bailey Theatres of Atlanta.

A surviving poster shows a Labor Day bill at 65 cents, children free with an adult. An ad shows it open in 1959, and Bailey set its closing for May 6, 1962. The lot is an open field today, and the ramps can still be seen from above.

Printed to order in the USA when you buy it. Standard US shipping is free on orders of $55 or more. Shipping details.
