Also in Michigan is the Capri Drive-In Theater at Coldwater, which replaced its original 1964 marque with a faithful replica after it was destroyed in a 2001 auto crash. It opened in 1964 and had a contest to pick a name. The name was submitted by Mary Magocs and she got a sewing machine for her name.
Admission in 1964 was $1 and a cheeseburger would set you back 45 cents.
The original double lane snack bar is still in place and does a brisk business in footlongs and garlic pickles.
Last Halloween, the drive-in offered socially distanced "trunk-or-tricking" and spotlighted best costumes on the screen during intermission -- a tradition that Susan Magocs says will continue forward.
