In the Capital District, we have examples of
many different companies that made diners. The companies that are clickable
are the ones with examples mentioned of this webpage [aka local diners].
Others will have a [+] after their name. This means that I have listed
the closest diner to the Capital District that is an example. (We will
change these if we find out that a diner we mentioned has been remodeled).
The others are diner manufacturers that we are unaware of any of their
diners that are 'alive'.
December, 2005.
I've totally ignored this webpage for about 4 years.
There are some new manufacturers to add, from George, North Carolina and
Philadelphia. Hopefully I'll get to updating this page.
I even got a google hit for "geneva ny
diner manufacturer". This might be for Star Diners.
Also, we will color code the manufacturers by modern and pre 1960's
diners. I believe only Kullman and Paramount fit into both categories.
This page is still under construction...
