Chicago, Cicero Ave. at Monroe St., a DC6 being repurposed into the Sky-Hi Restaurant. Seating inside or drive up service, opened about 1960, but long gone.
The Hydroplane on that trailer is currently residing at the Hydroplane museum in Kent Washington. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Here's another interesting that I've never seen. I'm kind of guessing but I believe it's the original 1961 Cooper T54 chassis converted to use an Aston Martin engine for the 1963 Indianapolis 500. Pedro Rodriguez was the driver but the car got bumped. As I understand it the car later ran as a sprint/supermodified for some years before being restored in more recent years.
To those that are here in the seattle/kent area, indeed, the Hydroplane museum is definitely worth your time to go see some of the coolest machines and engineering, its a great collection.
This is the newer Miss Thriftway that is also at the museum, my friend was fortunate enough to get a ride in her on Lake Washington when they were testing the engine, he sent me these shots from several years ago.
