A slightly closer address is 4901 Plainfield Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI.
This puts it right where the entrance/exit road use to connect to Plainfield Ave. Although the address of the property has now shifted to Paramount Drive, which did not exist at that time.
There is nothing left of the drive-in.

I attended this drive in back in 1984 and saw Beverly Hills Cop and Nightmare On Elm St. long, dark drive into the parking area, up on top of a hill surrounded by huge trees. Beautiful spot for a drive in.
Here is a 1988 photo:
