Update: There is a video store across the street from this location called Starlite Video in homage to the drive-in.

Update: Old--Cast Iron, Ride On, Merry Go Round Horse
First what I know about the horse. I have had it for about 10 years now. I got it from the people who used to run the Starlight
Drive in Theater in Benton Harbor MI. It was part of the ride on toys at the theater. He told me that it had been in a Worlds
Fair in the 1920s. I purchased 2 of them, but the other one was missing its tail, and no stand. This one is Complete. It was pretty
rusty when I got it, so I cleaned it up and just painted it black to stabilize it. It measures about 41" to the top of his head, and 38"
from nose to tail. It weighs about 85 pounds as it sits. It also comes with its original stand, but it sure is ugly, and needs a paint job,
but it is original. I am sure at one time it had some kind of a saddle, but it is now gone. This would be a Great Item to restore to its
Original Beauty. This is NOT a reproduction, but is an Original 80+ year old piece. (eBay Auction description 12/31/03)
Update: There is a Chevrolet dealer on the actual site now. Original marquee was removed around 1998. (Daryl 7/31/05)
