Was your Savoy a 2 door hardtop coupe,2 door sedan,4 door sport sedan,etc? They are difficult cars to find ,especially the 58's. Did you have any other Forward Looks?

I sure wish that Sylvania Halo-Light was near me,I'd definitely buy it for $100.I love that set and haven't been able to find one nearby. How much did the guy in MD have to pay to ship it to you? Or did he just send the chassis? Isn't that model one of the last Halo-Lights made?
It was a Club Coupe (sedan). Amazingly enough, there was almost no rust on the fender eyebrows, and it even came with a set of aluminum Sportone inserts. Good friend of mine in NJ has I think 18 of em, I picked up a complete running 318 Poly from him last spring for it in trade for the inserts. Wasn't a complete set of the inserts, I think I was missing one fender piece.

The shipping is done by a friend of mine in MD, who has family this way and just happens to come to my house and drop off and pick up sets of his own that I fix for him . Not sure where you're located, but I could always take a good look at it, and pick it up for you if you want it. The one I just did was a real headache, but the end result was pretty darn good. Not perfect, but pretty darn good

I recently spoke to a friend of mine that has been a collector/dealer for decades in regards to the GE "Forecaster" TV. Years ago he acquired one NOS in it's original box! He sold it quickly. I would have liked to had my shot at acquiring it!

Looks like the offspring of a union between a Philco 1000 and a Predicta!
