Welcome to the Dixie. This retired street car was purchased by Doug and Dixie Deeterman in 1950 and the two young restaurateurs had their Grand Opening in 1951. This quaint little diner was a staple in most small towns throughout America in the 1950's and many are still in service today!

Apply 2 coats of Shimmering Silver to the detail on roof, side doorknob, front door bars and kick plates. Drybrush louvers in kitchen. Please Note: When using translucent stains, you must spray after each application of a translucent stain to avoid smudging and smearing the stains. It is not necessary to spray after each application of an acrylic stain. The final spraying is sufficient for the acrylic stains.
