The One And Only…NBC Camera Limousine
I’ve shown you this car before, but thanks to Troy Walters in Australia, here’s another look at it from a magazine of the day.

Wasn’t this car used many times for the show “Monitor?”
Too long ago to fully remember all the facts. During the NYC School Teachers strike in 1967, I was assigned to either this unit or the Checker. I had a portable camera for coverage of the strike’s settlement announcement. I can’t remember if the camera was color or B&W. From what I recall, there were two of us assigned–one to operate the car’s equipment and I handled the camera with no communication back to the control room–0nly 46 years ago, how time passes us by!
I used to own the generator that was in the trunk!
The microwave link will not work very well without a dish!
