Motorola House Of The Future – 1961

What you see before you is an ad from Motorola, called House of the Future.” Motorola actually ran a series of these ads in the 60’s, and if you look up a few of the other ones, you’ll see that the houses of the future were quite impressive. Motorola really was ahead of its time. Until they came out with the Razr. Gag, barf, spit.

The House of the Future ads were painted byCharles Schridde, a really interesting guy whose information and story can be found here.

    I remember those House of the Future things. Granddaddy & Daddy were Motorola dealers back in those days, so they caught my attention.

    Interesting, Mayor. I hit the gallery on Schridde’s obit. Great stuff! Never really heard of him, but enjoyed the links.

    Thanks, Andy. The Mayor strives to bring you quality entertainment each and every day.

    It never happens, but at least The Mayor is striving.

    I swear that same apartment is in one of the Charlie’s Angels movies.

    I think Kathy is right. She always is, so there’s no reason to believe otherwise.

    BTW, Mayor, you’re doing pretty okay.
