Silk City Diners was a division of the Paterson Wagon Company, later known at Paterson Vehicle Company, established by Everett Abbott Cooper and based in Paterson, New Jersey, which produced about 1,500 diners from 1926 until 1966.[1][2] Each was tagged with the year and order in which it was built; for example, 5607 would be the seventh diner manufactured in 1956.[3] Several have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
