Hey CBS…Buck Rogers Wants His Truck Back!

In August of 1951, this one of a kind creation was the latest and greatest thing in mobile radio units. For the time, this was actually quite a feat of engineering design with all that molded plexiglass.

This CBS unit is shown here in Central Park and could broadcast on the go from up to 35 miles out. I think the truck is either French or English. Anyone know more? Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    Front of the truck looks a lot like those Divco milk trucks that were rife back then.
