Remember Radio News Vans?
WFIL 560 was Philly's music and news station back in the good old days till the late 80s. It had excellent daytime coverage reaching out 60 miles back when transmitter tower ground-planes were maintained.

Hi All;
Our then local Radio Station had a Van (I think), but it was an early Station to have a helicopter, to get to events and to report Traffic conditions.. KIMN in Denver.. THANK YOU Marty |

And then there was this unusual mid 60s vehicle at KISN (ninety-wonderful) in Portland Oregon:

That Car-Plane was featured in one of the History channel's programs on failed inventions a while back. I never knew a radio station owned one, but it seems like one of the most fitting applications one could find for one of those.

It appears that ninety-wonderful KISN also had a van for news gathering/events:
Also from the Stumptownblogger site. Mid 60s Dodge, perhaps? jr |
