Found this on Curbside Classic:

Can anyone ID the television sets?

But it's not Playboy Pink like the rest of the stuff.
Wonder if that's a Philco, they made the little Mustang set.

I just find it funny we're more interested in the TV then the girl. :P

Speak for your self! :D

The cabinet of the TV reminds me of Silvertone, but the tuning knobs don't ring any bells. Perhaps it is a rarer store brand like Bradford or Penncrest.

Looks like an early new vista

oooooh look at those curves..., those two eye catching orbs, that smooth, perfect face...

Oh and the lady is okay too I guess

Admiral. I see the red yellow and blue admiral logo below the control panel.

Yep, Admirable, here's an ad for a 65 Admiral, different cabinet but same control panel.

If the TV & the car are still around, they're likely in better shape than SHE is..

Admiral didn't announce plans to make color tubes until August of 64

So, that roundie probably had an RCA tube (sulfide phosphors, you can tell by the screen color) and might actually be a long-lived one. Admiral-built color tubes had a poor reputation. They offered a 3 year warranty on their CRTs (not including labor), and apparently it was needed.

Indeed, she died April 11, 2004 at the age of 58. :tears:
