The FORD-WYOMING DRIVE-IN--in Dearborn, Michigan -- where the headquarters of the Ford Motor Company are also located -- is one of the country's largest, with a roughly 1,700 car capacity.
Named for its location at the intersection of Ford Road and Wyoming Avenue, this drive-in is open year round. "The only time we've ever been closed is when there is a snowstorm just before the theater opening, or in extreme cold," says co-owner Bill Clark.
Taking a cue from the movie palaces of old, the back of the movie screen -- whuch faces the road -- is designed to look like an Art Deco building, with jaunty red accents.
The theater has upgraded two of its five screens with laser projectors and will be doing the same on the remaining screens soon. It offers streaming audio over Wi-Fi and broadcast audio over FM radio.
