Billboard, July 10, 1954: “The Blue Sky Drive-In at Pontiac, Mich., is installing a huge attraction board, 40 feet long by 27 high, said to be the largest for an outdoor theater in the State.”
Here is a 1975 photo:

The Blue Sky was operated by Arthur and Roger Robinson from 1948 until 1965. Sumner Redstone and his Northeast Theatre Corp. (National Amusements) came to Michigan in 1964, acquiring the Miracle Mile, Waterford and Pontiac drive-ins. They took over the Blue Sky in 1965 and owned it until it’s closure in 1987.

Also, the Walled Lake (E. Lake Dr. 1945-50) and the Walake (Maple Rd. 1956-86) were two different drive-ins.
