TomlinsonRunRR posted:Wow Dave! Fantastic shots! Thanks for posting these. Great colors and lines. Yes, they did a superb job on the rehab. (Hopefully the interior was maintained with its stained glass and etc.)
A question for you: Are you sure that the interurban deteriorated? I believe the car originally had a fake "moderne" shovel nose added on the right side. Perhaps that is what deteriorated?? Regardless, the right side was replaced and extended with what we see now with the portholes. I may have a series of photos showing this restaurant's evolution from an interurban over several owners and modifications. However, they may be on my old laptop, which requires some digging. Also, I think it had a central entrance at one point, too?
Have you eaten there? I'm hungry all of a sudden.
Thanks again for these great photos.

Thank you, I only saw it when I came out of the Walgreens to the right of the car and decided to take photo or two. I was told by someone that the original car had to be replaced. I have not been in it so have no idea what the food is like. Oddly, I passed it about eight times when going to and from my motel in Mendota (interesting RR museum there) and never really gave the place a thought about stopping in; even if just to look at it.
