Address was 5913 N. Huron Rd. The snackbar has been replaced with a house last known to have been occupied by Norman VanWormer, who also owned the drive-in.
HurON, not HurAN.
Thanks TenPound!

A more accurate address is 3917 Bay-Arenac Rd, Pinconning, MI.
This points to the entrance road for the drive-in which is now used as the driveway for the house on the property.
You can just barely make out the faint outline of the drive-in. Otherwise, there is no trace remaining apart from the entrance road/driveway.
