new 1951 Diner popcorn machine

The 1950s were a sentimental time – a cool era that immediately evokes visions of Grease and Happy Days’ diners. Retro diners were bright, nostalgic, and theatrical -- quintessential Americana, yet fun and whimsical. Particularly reminiscent of the 1950s era is the icon style of the diner and the iconic rounded shape top of the juke box. Paragon’s 1951 captures the feel of the 1950’s diner where it was a time to play the juke box and celebrate the boys back from the war, a time to relax and enjoy family, friends and rock & roll. The popper is a natural product to capture the elements of a diner or juke box - it’s practically a law that a vintage jukebox has to have excessive amounts of chrome, steel castings, and glass panels.   Diners and jukeboxes became pop culture icons with age, so did their art styles and nostalgic appeal.



PRO-SERIES
