Detroit's second drive-in, opening night ad from the April 26, 1940 Detroit News

submitted on May 04, 2002 by Ron Gross

This is the photo Gary C. is referring to. It is incorrectly listed as the 8-Mile Drive-In in Sanders book. It was called the Westside from day one as shown in the May 26, 1940 grand opening ad.
