Algiers Drive-In Hoodie

The Algiers Drive-In in Westland, Michigan, opened on August 15, 1956, with John Wayne in The Searchers. Its opening ad ran the name between a tall palm tree and a domed tower. Guinness World Records still lists it as the largest drive-in by screen size, at 216 feet wide, though a commenter on Cinema Treasures puts the screen at 120 feet.

Children got rides on a fire truck before the show. Patrons of a lounge at the Quo Vadis theater next door could wear headphones and watch the screen through a picture window. The Algiers closed on January 22, 1985, and a shopping center took the site.

Printed to order in the USA when you buy it. Standard US shipping is free on orders of $55 or more. Shipping details.
