You can still find these today, Trolley Diners. They take an old aging trolley, gut it, add a kitchen and a counter and you have a diner. That's what this is, that's why its so narrow.
Trolley's were being thrown away, as buses replaced them, so you could get it cheap. Only you had to find a way to get it there, remove the wheels and give it a foundation. Or find yourself some tracks to sit on.
Inside of these, they were often outfitted with curved wood panels, places for advertisements and otherwise looked very nice. Use those slots for menu's, refinish the inside and give people a place to sit and its ready to go.
This place has an outside section, with a dining room inside, presumably its bigger on the inside than the outside. Maybe just the beer is served outside. Just look at the price for those hamburgs. Hard to beat that price now.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

I like puzzles but can't commit to thousands of pieces. I chose this one in 110 pieces because I wanted a challenge that could be completed in a few hours. This one took approx 3.5 hours to complete. The image is pretty uniform throughout so may seem daunting but some of the jigsaw pieces are quite unique which helps. You definitely need a good eye for detail and this puzzle is challenging and engaging giving the satisfaction of completion after a relatively short commitment of time.
I do not like thousands of pieces because I don't have the time or motivation to keep going back to a puzzle which needs to be stored and moved and this can result in a loss of pieces.
The box the puzzle is supplied in is good quality and will store the puzzle safely for a long time. The box also fits on one of my small bookcase so storage is very easy. The puzzle print is slightly smaller than the image on the box and this makes orientation of the puzzle harder. The image is of really good quality though and I'm happy with the quality of this aspect.
