I was wondering when the next release would occur.
I say it is a car dealership.
Ford auto dealership
50’s Ford F-100 hood emblem. Maybe a dealership, farm truck, farmers market, gas station, flatcar with truck?
A beer delivery truck!
I'd guess something related to FoMoCo, so of course I'll have to buy it.
Road Kill Restaurant. A restaurant specializing in Road Kill cuisine.
Found On Road Dead.
Ford Gear and Lightning Bolt Hood Emblem for 1953, 1954, 1955 and 1956 F-100s
Above is probably correct a dealership or just an f100 from that time period in diecast 
If I might be so bold to say both can be found pretty easily in the secondary market.
My hope is a Ford industrial facility!
Can we get an additional hint?
Automobile manufacturing plant.
I bet the toy cars made in this plant will work better than the ones made in the real Ford plant!! (ツ) (ツ) (ツ)
How about some Chevy cars and trucks, I will never by another Ford.

I always like the first hint. Gets the mind working overtime. Like ScottyRR maybe it is a diecast truck or a beer delivery truck like Mike g is always hoping for. A dealership with a rotating sign. Maybe a ford factory. Weekend is a long time to go without another hint. It will be interesting to see what it will be....................Paul 2
I'll go with a Ford dealership. There's already a ton of Ford cars and trucks out there priced in the $10 - $20 range .

Gosh I hope not, they weren't anything to brag about. I operated a few... it was not a pleasant experience.
The logo pictured from Menards was used on the F-100 pickups from 1953 to 1956.

If it is a dealership, I'd be interested, especially if it comes with a few mustangs.
Menard's does not normally release items that old (1950s), so I think it will be a junk yard with some parts off an old F-100 rusting away in it.
Other possibilities:
Auto Parts Store
Drive-in or Drive-thru Restaurant (maybe McDonalds or Big-Boy)
Gas Station and/or Repair Garage
Ford Factory (probably too big to be likely)
Drive-in Movie Theater
Kingsford Charcoal Boxcar
