Cool photo: White Manna and a '59 Oldsmobile coupe
« on: June 13, 2010, 12:35:35 AM »
This isn't an auction - I just happened to stumble across this photo online.

Here's the info that came with it:

1959 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Scenic Coupe at tiny White Manna Hamburgers in Hackensack, New Jersey. This minuscule 800 square foot Paramount diner serves hamburgers sized to match; each petite burger is about the size of a flattened golf ball, served on a custom white bun (hence the name White Manna) with or without grilled onions. This Art Deco inspired diner was built for the 1939 New York World's Fair, and offered visitors a futuristic look at fast food. It features glass block and stainless steel construction. Over the years, the menu has remained limited to simple fare so the three person staff can easily serve clientele. Paramount Diners were built in Haledon, New Jersey and are renowned for their clever use of materials; particularly their Art Deco inspired diners featuring decorative Formica, custom tile work, glass block and patterned stainless steel
