On the Turn Table

I hope this Turbine theme is not getting boring. Really, there's only one more photo from the vault. OK, maybe two.

This is so much like the day my Dad took me to see the Turbine at the Northway Mall in Pittsburgh. The car slowly rotating, with each new view just as exciting as the last.

I suspect I might have blown this memory out of proportion, though. In reality, it was probably just parked in the main hall with a lot of people standing around gawking.

As the Nuns used to say to us, back in the day; " When you die, you can go ask God."

Hey it's on my list!

 

This is a 1/25th scale plastic promotional model I received when I saw the Turbine back in 1963.

30 years later I constructed the "showroom" out of gator board, styrene plastic, wood and brass. The glittery background is a plastic laminate with an adhesive backing.
