The classic diner is an icon of the American roadside. As cars were
mass-produced, so were these aluminum gems, whose metal bodies and
neon signs came to characterize modernity in the mid-twentieth
century. From the 1920s to the 1950s, these eye-catching eateries
promoted themselves on many giveaway matchcovers and postcards.
Today, these highly collectible pieces of ephemera provide a
colorful visual record of diners from all over the country. Nearly
450 examples are included here, along with a history of the diner
and related information about postcards and matchcovers of the era.
Enjoy a nostalgic, state-by-state tour of architecturally unique,
vintage American diners.
