Ford Drive-In, Drive-in theater in Dearborn, United States
Ford Drive-In is a drive-in theater in Dearborn with five large outdoor screens across its property, accommodating up to 3,000 vehicles for movie screenings throughout the year. Audio broadcasts through dedicated radio frequencies for each screen, so viewers can hear the film directly from their cars.
The theater opened on May 19, 1950, welcoming 750 cars to its single screen for its inaugural double feature. Over the decades, the venue expanded with additional screens to serve growing audiences.
The theater keeps the tradition of double features alive, where visitors watch two films for a single ticket price from the comfort of their cars. This practice creates a relaxed evening for families and couples who want to spend time together outdoors.
The theater provides car heaters during winter months to keep visitors comfortable while watching outdoors. The location is easy to access and offers ample space for parking vehicles throughout the evening.
This venue historically offered late-night movie screenings that set it apart from typical drive-in theaters of its era. This extended schedule allowed night owls and shift workers to catch films at unconventional times.
