I'd forgotten to note that the Car Hop was eventually purchased by Bernie and Seymour Paley and became their second "Big Wheel" location.

After the brothers had a falling out and went their seperate ways, Bernie became one of the first franchisees of Col. Sanders' Kentucky Fried Chicken.

This location became one of ten KFC restaurants Bernie Paley operated, and he pissed off Col. Sanders with a "Paley's" sign that was bigger than the "Kentucky Fried Chicken" one.

Don has images of some of the other Paley KFC's thanks to Stan Meade stumbling across some prints at a flea market that I'd originally provided to a friend. Those images were taken byb Wallace Clark of Springs Photo.
