Does anyone remember these restaraunts ?
They whent out either in the late 70's or very early 80's.
There is a old one on University Avenue in L.R. It's a cheapo
used car lot now but the building facade is still there.

......Yeah, it's photoshopped. I love finding old pictures of diners
and burger joints from the 50's - 70's.
There is actually a web site dedicated to these old Burger Chef
Restaraunts'. The old car in the background , looks like a 65-67
Impala ? Someone correct me if I'm wrong ?

yeah man i think it is, and the only way i could tell it was photoshopped was cause the lights inside there are on you did a good job on that one. one more thing is that roll-away garbage can would have been "rolled away" LOL

.....Well thanks for the compliments on my photoshop effort. It's just a simple copy and paste. But thanks guys...
However, I was aiming for anyone else who knew of these old burger joints or had a memory of a favorite drive in diner of their child hood. And yeah.....it gave me a chance to learn some more with photoshop.
