Description
Hickey’s Diner Truck
O Scale Kit: Assembly, painting and finishing required
In 1947, Jack Hickey took possession of a brand new lunch wagon which he had designed himself. Custom built, the 8’ x 18’ cart was manufactured by the Worcester Lunch Car Company at a cost of $12,000. It was placed aboard a 1954 two-ton Chevrolet truck frame.
Every day, except Sundays and legal holidays, Hickey’s would open at the far end of Court Street in Taunton. When the diner’s doors were unlocked at 6 A.M., its regular customers would already be waiting for their morning coffee. About 350 people a day visited the lunch cart, some inside trying to find a place on one of the stools, others outside, mounting the portable steps for take-out.
Then about 3:30 P.M., the diner would be packed up and disconnected from its utility fittings. The old ’54 Chevy motor would rumble to life and the diner, top-heavy and teasing the laws of gravity, would crawl down the street, nudge its way into the inside lane of traffic around the green and move to its appointed place until closing time between 1 and 2 A.M. Fire the beast up again and back to Court Street and open again in a few hours.
The kit comes with a laser cut diner structure with a removable roof and 3D printed interior. The 3D printed COE truck has separate hubs and tires for easy painting, a nicely detailed interior and laser cut glazing.
Sprues need to be removed by the customer.
