Dearborn Drive-In 26500 Ford Road, Dearborn Heights, MI
The Dearborn Drive-In opened July 23, 1948 by Komer and Goldberg and had space for 1,040 cars. During its early years, the drive-in also boasted a mini-train ride for children. The Wisper & Wetsman chain acquired the Dearborn Drive-In during the 1960’s, and operated it until 1979, when it was taken over by Wayne Amusements, which added a second screen shortly thereafter, and increased capacity to over 1,200.
The drive-in was closed in 1984, and demolished two years later to make way for a shopping center - Notes by Bryan Krefft.
