Owned by Mutual theatres in the Late Fifties, Bryan.
I guess they changed the name due to the failed 6-9 side. Wonder if they will yank the Wyoming letters of the main screen towers and the marquee
Maybe I need to get a job at this drive-in they stay open late or is it early?
Wow, they start movies at 2:30 am on a Wednesday night? Not like people in MI need to get up and go to work I suppose…
Nice web-site.

Name has been changed to Ford Drive-In it seems, dropping the Wyoming part now that those screens are gone. Website URL is now http://www.forddrivein.com/
oh nevermind i see what you mean i spelled snackbar wrong LOL
standard drive-in food. popcorn chips hot dogs etc.
The snakebar? What did they serve?
the demo of the 6-9 is underway the snakebar has been cleaned out and they got to the end of may to pull down the screens. the screens were offered for free around the drive-in circuit but there were no takers.
its official the ford wyoming is now down to 5 screens. the website no longer lists the 6-9 only the 1-5 tab remains.
It should be noted in the header that the address listed is for the Ford-Wyoming 1-5 Drive-In. The address for 6-9 was different, 6251 Wyoming.
I guess this was the last year for 6-9 according to the employees. the land lease expired this year.
The links posted on 1/26/08 are not functioning links. Go to the Detroit section of this link www.michigandriveins.com
ok posted from the website starting 6/26 the 6-9 will be open daily.
any word if 6-9 will be re-opening this year

Here is a recent photo of the Ford-Wyoming Drive-In.
This is the Ford-Wyoming 1-5. There is also a Ford-Wyoming 6-9 which opened in Dearborn in 1991. Here are links for both:

Also of note is that Wayne Amusements still owns and operates this drive-in, their only theater property. Mr. Shafer is still out doing the job, it’s great to see him carry on the legacy.
