My Dad had a 1950/51 Studebaker; its subsidiary was Franklin Manufacturing and Litton bought Franklin from Studebaker. Litton developed the shape of the microwave to the form we're familiar with today. But it was Tappan who introduced the microwave to consumers in 1955, fifty-nine years ago today. And our Amana Radarange is still a chromed driving experience. Details in link.
Wondering - didn't cadman/Cory buy one of the first commercial microwaves that weighed hundreds of pounds? If so, did you get it working to your liking, Cory? CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK | ||

Those Studebakers with suicide doors are cool, and what memories a car can bring back in people's lives.
I was thinking this thread was started in Super; apparently my shoes are on backwards. (my dad had a coupe, not the models with suicide doors...like pictured)
