Burger Chef Buildings
Four Burger Chef buildings, spanning from the mid 1960s to the late 1970s. Across the top are two 'open-kite' style buildings from the 1960s. The top left building has the aluminum and glass enclosure first used in 1964 when indoor dining was introduced, before this customers ordered from an outdoor window. The building on the top right has the more substantial enclosure used later in the 1960s. Bottom left is a 'Cosmopolitan II' building introduced in 1968, a transition design using more natural materials and colors but retaining the shapes of the previous design. This is shown with the second generation roadside sign, with back lit Plexiglas instead of neon. The bottom right building was the Burger Chef 'W-III' design introduced around 1978, when the transition into a more natural formal look was complete. The W-III was available in several different exterior styles to blend into its surroundings - this was the colonial motif.
