Phil's Diner - 11138 Chandler Blvd transplanted to 5230 Lankershim Blvd - evidently closed. Again. Reportedly built in '20. Alleged to be "the oldest dining car in California." (Perhaps it was the oldest operating dining car?)

May be the best pic of the bunch. Probably early '60s considering Plymouth/Dodge tail fin, roof ac unit and parking meters.
Did meters produce enough revenue to justify their existence, or was this a means of regulating limited parking?
