In discussing Packard bicycles during this thread, many questions and mentions of other Packard-branded items have emerged.

So to wrap up 2023, I thought I would share yet another amazing "Packard" item I'll bet most of you have neither seen nor heard about. It was called the Packard "Pla-Mor" audio speaker system. It was a futuristic juke box. Take a look at this fascinating wildness from 1946...!

Yes... the special Pla-Mor speaker system hung from ceilings. The dazzling Pla-More hanging speakers rotated and featured colored lighting. Futuristic stuff for the 1940s.

Lest I forget to mention, Packard Pla-Mor hanging speakers rotated and contained colored lights– but Sham-Wow! Wait... there's more. The rotating hanging speaker units contained a special reservoir for bubble-making fluid! Yessssss, that's right. Long before Lawrence Welk and his champagne bubble machine there was the Packard Pla-Mor system spewing out bubbles as it spun above the listeners and dancers below!

And no... Packard Motor Car Company didn't make these amazing audio systems. But wow! Imagine having one of these dangling from the ceiling at your New Year's celebration!
