Likely the scene of much autoeroticism in the fifties and sixties.

The Muskegon Auto Theatre opened 8/26/47, and showed it’s last movie on 9/1/80.
Chuck- actually the latest additions and parking lots for Cinema Carousel do sit on the site of the former Auto Theater. In fact, Cinema Carousel uses the old drive-in sign for advertising.
Looks like one A.W. Ochs started the Auto.
The 1948-49 Theatre Catalog lists A. W. Ochs, Muskegon Drive-In Theater Co., capacity 400. The next edition dropped the company. In the 1952 edition, Ochs is joined by General Th. Serv. Then Ochs was out by the 1955 edition, replaced by Allen Shaw, Lombardo Bros.
The IMPAs also list a capacity of 400 through at least 1976. The Auto was still listed in the 1982 IMPA (owner: Loeks, capacity: 700) but was gone by the 1984 edition.
