The Whitesburg Drive-In in Huntsville, Alabama, opened on June 16, 1949, as the city's first drive-in. It held 400 cars, adults paid 40 cents, and the opening ad promised free baby bottle warming. The screen was enlarged for CinemaScope in 1954.

The last show was in late September 1979. The next summer the owner asked the city to burn the 60-foot tower, which was starting to look unsafe. Firefighters did so on June 10, 1980, with about 100 people watching, and it was gone in about half an hour.
