Too weird for me. It belongs in one of those strange flat-roof, all-glass houses with chrome kitchen cabinets, purple glitter ceilings and bamboo wood doors in the Hollywood Hills. And it can please stay there, where I don't have to see it. But as a TV collector, I admit it's rare.

There is a house in a little town called Church Hill near here that NEEDS this thaing...Mostly glass & brick, & the "walls" are wider at the top than at the bottom...the roof is "backwards"-it slopes inward towards the middle, & the eaves are higher than the center..The whole thing screams "Googie !", & also needs a late '50s finmobile-Prolly one of Virgil Exner's heroic Imperials-sittin' in front of it...Strangely enuff, the place is quite attractive...

Speaking of Virgil Exner, I own a body-off-frame restored 1958 Plymouth Fury. It looks like it rolled off Plymouth's old Detroit Assembly Line.

Nice. I like Chryslers from the "forward look" era. 361? Got any pics?

And I like the Komet, I was just thinking they should have made a remote controlled model.

There was a cable remote, but only for the TV available.

Did it have a "DISAPPEAR" button?
