I like the color the peacock contest..Over 12 million color sets in inventory in 1956. Don Lindsly 05-19-2012, 01:53 PM That is over $12 million in dollars, not units. Total TV sales for for 1956 were 6,804,783 units per US Dept of Commerce Steve D. 05-19-2012, 03:57 PM Wayne, I found these slides on line several years ago. They were just posted randomly. Thanks for posting so I can now see them in proper order. -Steve D. old_tv_nut 05-19-2012, 04:29 PM Wayne, I found these slides on line several years ago. They were just posted randomly.

I like how this guy gets more evil looking as the show progresses. Even the woman unveiling the TV looks pretty sinister. mstaton 05-19-2012, 08:13 PM That is over $12 million in dollars, not units.

I know a fellow with a bunch of Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge material like this, complete sets with the filmstrip and records. I need to talk him into letting me borrow some just to check them out. kvflyer 05-20-2012, 01:30 AM ...

I would love to see that! bgadow 05-20-2012, 10:34 PM kv, if you ever get down this way (on the way to the beach, maybe?) you could stop by, he has a store here in town. He has a massive amount of NOS Mopar stuff from a dealer he cleaned out. These sets are among the parts and include titles like "Plymouth against the Edsel" and "Selling the Chrysler to the Buick owner" that sorta thing. |
