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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48225701822615,"sku":"9780764326103","price":4307.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780764326103.webp?v=1788767992","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/classic-american-diners-collectible-postcards-and-matchcovers-9780764326103","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
