Please show me a car with an oil company logo.

Oil Company that our family had a number of people work at the Toledo Refinery  for years.

Show me another car with an oil company logo on it.

Yesterday I posted the gas station from the FSM kit Roadside Delights. Here are a couple views of the diner from that same kit.

There is a third structure from that kit, a news stand, which I haven't built yet because I can't find a suitable place for it on the layout.

More diners, drive-ins, or dives, please.

I really like the design of the diner from that kit. It reminds me of Brocatto's Sandwich Shop in Tampa, which has been there since the 1940s.

Here is another great little diner:

A really nice little diner there. I've long thought about converting one of my surplus dining cars to a roadside diner but can't find a good location for it.

This diner is a kitbash from two different diner kits, a Walthers kit and a wood craftsman kit which forms the drive-in part of the diner. 

Still more diners, drive-ins, or dives please.

Woodland Scenics/DPM have offered this little food joint in both a built up and a kit. This one is the kit version.

It's funny how things show up in a photo that you never notice when looking at it with the naked eye. It looks like that false front on the theater in the background has warped since it was first installed and will need a bit of minor surgery to fix.

Looks like this topic still has a little left in it. Let's stay with eateries or watering holes for now.

This scene was inspired by a Harry Belafonte song about the mass produced houses in the post-WWII era.

"...there's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one, and they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same".

Show me something, green, pink, blue, or yellow.
