The Ford/Wyoming Drive-In opened in 1950 in the heyday of drive-in movie theaters. At it’s peak in 1958, there were around 4000 drive-in’s in the US, many with multiple screens. Today there are less than 400 left in operation. The Ford/Wyoming Theater (renamed just “The Ford” in 2010 after closing the extra screens 6-9 on Wyoming) is one of them.
Knowing that drive-ins are not long for this world, the last time I was in Detroit I decided, on a whim, to pull the family van over (with the family all inside) and run out with my camera to take some photos. it seemed like a great photographic opportunity since it was a nice summer evening with the sun about to set.
The rest of the photos can be found on SmugMug.
