I really enjoyed this long video. As a department store chain TV/Stereo buyer, this was well before my time. The vendors I worked with like RCA, Zenith and Magnavox would have meetings at their San Francisco offices but I didn't mix with other retailers and was never supposed to be seen with my biggest competitor, Macy's California. The reps always came to you and because the lines they had were in high demand, the salespeople didn't have much to do except take you to expensive SF restaurants for lunch. Prior to my promotion I ate at Woolworth's across the street from the cable car turnaround. Life was good. And with Sony, the demand for their stuff was so high that the rep was just an order taker. You took as much as you could get. The largest screen size they made was their new 19" Trinitron, and the wait for the 19" remote set took months. This was in the later part of the 1970's and people were crazy for Sony. Oddly enough, when we brought in brands like Hitachi, the buying office received mail that was almost like death-threats accusing us of being traitors. WWII had ended almost 35 years ago!

After watching this I went out in the garage and sat in my 1965 Buick and said "are we really that old"? I guess we are since I'm 15 years older than the car 

My car's been seen here several times (yawn) and this post's topic is not about cars, but I'll post this for you. It's hard to realize how long ago 1965 was. And no, neither of those young guys behind the car is me.

And the funny thing about it - so YUGE - we thought nothing about at the time.  It was simply a 'full-sized' car with bucket seats and an operating console.  She's a beauty!

I was looking at a Junior HS annual the other evening (1965-1966) and in it there's an interior shot of someone's (a teacher, I think) Riveria, an impressive automobile for sure.

Thanks for sharing the Wildcat.

Was owned by RCA Whirlpool and WP was partly controlled by Sears, WWE built most Sears TVs, Radios, Stereos from 1960 [ maybe earlier ] through most of the 70s. They built some pretty innovative and good products during that time frame.
