Quarter Gauger 48 posted:TRRR, Thanks for the very nice compliment'. No back story really, just my Mom had owned and operated small diners of this style, and of course I worked in them as a youngster. Here is a photo of one we had. It was named, "The Stagecoach Diner," in Sandy Hook, CT. Circa 1963....
And a well-deserved compliment, too. :-). I consider that quite a "backstory" for your model. Wow, what a great experience -- at least to me looking in from the outside. I suspect it was a lot of hard work for a kid.
My limited record (on an index card, no less) shows the "Sandy Hook Diner" on Church Hill Road as having been built in the 1920s. The proportions of the center section look right for the time period. That's a lot of decades and eras that can be represented by model cars and trucks!
