On the old diner front we ate at the Cloister Restaurant in Ephrata PA whose modern exterior hides a classic stainless diner from somewhere in the 30's to the 50's. They were closing so I couldn't see if there was any manufacturing information or "tag" as the diner site on the web calls them.
It even has opening windows reminiscent of a passenger car or school bus window.
Here's a post card shot from thebay:
And now that we know what the Lou-Roc Award means, I'm sorry to report that the streamlined subject of Rule292's post was a victim of the trend, apparently in the 1980s. That must be what you meant by your comment about what the "modern exterior hides"

But, today's Loc-Rocking can lead to buried treasure for future archaeologists and preservationists. Believe it or not, there may still be a trolley car buried inside this Chinese AutoMec Sales & Service business at 8685 Garvey Blvd, Rosemead, CA. It seems awfully wide but the overall proportions work. This example was once the Taqueria Su Amigo El Michaucano diner (circa 1979/93 per "American Diner: Then and Now"). I can't find any web photos of its Mexican restaurant phase -- let alone guess its prior transportation history:
Tomlinson Run Railroad
