The Bay Drive-In opened its gates on July 16, 1959 with Aldo Ray in “The Naked And The Dead” and Walt Disney’s “White Wilderness” (unknown if extras added), and was first owned by the husband-and-wife team of Mr. and Mrs. Norman VanWormer.

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.

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.
