How sad, I thought, the poor thing is sitting out in the rain with nobody to love it. So the next morning I drove over there. I figured it would probably be a relatively Mid 60ish set with little desire for it on my part. Well I was wrong.
It was a 1950 12" Philco roundie. In very sad condition, but not beyond redemption. So I put it in my van and now it has a nice warm place out of the rain, waiting for me to restore it some day.

Great save! And a model I haven't seen before. Neat slanted chassis!
