I buy what I like or adds flair to my already too crowded office - shop space . In one case where buying a vintage piece was practical , I was constructing a scale model of the former Zep or Zepplin Diner that was in Hawthorne California . My aim was to re create the Diner , a Gilmore , and eventually , a Richfield and display these three buildings together as the corner of Denver Avenue and Flower used to be about 1935. I found such a map here on the forum and as a result , this took out reams of guesswork as to lot configurations .


see ya on the road folks !
