My father saw that commercial, and he said that he'd prefer the Mercedes, thank you...

As for color TV advances finding use in B&W sets, I'd expect that it did happen. A cost reduction say on the tuner or IF strip would certainly also apply to a B&W set. Or other common circuits.

Yeah, Mom was considering a 1977 Granada but it was too overpriced so we bought a 1977 Mercury Cougar at that time. I still have the Cougar, would like to get it back on the road.
