Few American phenomena are more evocative of time, place, and
culture than the drive-in theater. From its origins in the Great
Depression, through its peak in the 1950s and 1960s and ultimately
its slow demise in the 1980s, the drive-in holds a unique place in
the country's collective past. Michigan's drive-ins were a
reflection of this time and place, ranging from tiny rural 200-car
"ozoners" to sprawling 2,500-car behemoths that were masterpieces
of showmanship, boasting not only movies and food, but playgrounds,
pony rides, merry-go-rounds, and even roving window washers.
