I didn't know their radio/TV division was just down the street from Zenith.
$50 in 1954 --> about $500 today?
They apparently got into the TV/radio business by acquiring a Chicago company named Belmont in 1945. Crippled by a strike, the division apparently folded around 1948, then reformed in 1954, and was sold to Admiral in 1956.

Henry Luhrs built beautiful lapstrake Jersey Skiffs in my hometown until the mid 60's.
The "installation and accessories" probably included some black magic grounding and ignition noise suppression.

All I noticed at first was 1971 and looked at the image and knew that had to be a 747. They had only been in production for a few years at that point. I watched a show about the development of that plane and it's a very interesting story. It was designed and rolled out very quickly.
Do it yourself whitewall tires. Yup, that's a good idea. What could possibly go wrong?
There also were fakewalls that slipped under the tire bead after you let out some air.
My dad actually had some. I think they came on the 58 Chevy Delray or the 62 Belair, both bought used.
They were quickly removed and stored overhead in the garage. Think they were still there when we sold the house.
Is it just me, or is this ad really odd?
