This is a project for our customer in Surrey England building the Cadillac Diner.
 
The floor is a wood plank, but in the dark metallic color. The image doesn't show it, but there is a very small groove to the face. I am imagining one wall from floor to ceiling, the opposite wall wainscoting only to be in the right hand material. This is a stainless metal style / laminated wall panel system that will feature a continuous red painted groove diamond pattern. The sample shows it as a single set of two diamonds but in reality the grooves will run the entire face. A nice way of treating the usual diamond diner material.
 
The tops are the requested Red Glacier, but a new edge. We will do a 3" drop edge with the GA-125 (satin vs chrome) edging on the top and bottom edge and with a laminated center piece for accent. The Booth tops get the red color insert, the freestanding gets the white.
 
Booths, here we have some fun. They are in the tradition red and white BUT the backs of the booths will get a lower section of the vertical tight channel in cream with the top of the seat and the rest of the seats and sides gets the Ruby red. We could also for a little touch place a series of small buttons along the dividing line of the white and red.
 
The area above the booths and maybe the bar facade area gets a soffit with the wood grain laminate along the outside vertical edges, the center gets the standard metal 3" diamond pattern with a pair of neon strips of red and blue. The rest of the ceiling gets the traditional metal ceiling panels, but powder coated in the white and metal vein finish.
 
The bar area is really going to be fun. The die front gets the perforated metallic embedded acrylic trimmed in the satin metal, and in the wood grain laminate. The top gets the solid red, I have two options on the board, both mounted along the top edge of the acrylic sample. One is a textured red, the other a solid red. Both will work just fine.
 
The decor would feature the retro lighting shown but in a satin color stem, framed retro artwork in Cherry frames. Where required, double mattes of the retro green and the white. This will help to throw some other colors into the room. We can also do a wall cabinet featuring a custom selected diecast car collection of various eras and styles.
 
The final pieces of decor can include the metal signs, Coke machines, car sofas, and gas pumps. And of course the Jukebox. It is not on the board only due to the fact I ran out of room.
