Thinking about getting this... Fleetwood 21-41

Did you take a picture of it in the car? That had to be quite the sight... in the back of a Mazda 3!

Probably sort of like one of those circus cars that all the clowns come out of....

I know what a car PACKED full of vintage electronics looks like from all the swap meets I've attended with a couple of c-notes and the family Honda CR-V(both the new one and the old one that got totaled)...There have been a few times where I dragged two consoles at once home in that thing(usually along with a bunch of tube radios and other gear for padding not to mention the folks up front and me in the back seat swimming in gear).

The CR-V is one of the best SUVs IMHO for this kind of hobby...big enough for most large consoles(or two smaller ones ), some gear, and passengers, yet not a freakin' boat to drive and with fairly good MPG.

There was about 1 inch to spare. The TV chassis went in the side door and was half wedged up on the gap in the bottom of the cabinet, and resting on the window. The top back corner of the cabinet was about 1" from the rear windscreen. I still don't know how we managed that.

Didn't think to take a pic though.
