Many years ago, the local Chevrolet had some kind of bubble machine operating in the showroom for a gala promotion. It may have been for the 1955 model introduction. About all I remember is the bubbles. I wonder if it might have been one of the Pla-Mor devices. I don't think the local juke box/shuffleboard/cigarette machine operator had any, but the dealer may have rented an outfit from Ft. Worth.
Yes. Of course there were also the Wurlitzer and Rock-Ola "bubbler" jukeboxes.
I had one of these, owned since the 1950s. An unimaginative, irresponsible relative left the machine sitting in a basement of one of my Detroit commercial properties when I sold the building many years ago (I was living in California at the time). The relative simply could not understand why in the world I wanted such a "heavy old contraption" saved????? And thus it was absorbed into the great disappearing disposal grinder of... Detroit. As it has become.
