how about that, someone located a photo of an old radio or early tv show promotional space ship made by the show sponsor


The rocket was built in the early 1950s for the Luer Meat Company, which was located in the meat packing district near south Los Angeles, California.

The rocket was built by Standard Carriage Works which was located about 1/4 mile from Luer Meat Company at the time. Standard Carriage works built things of this type for many customers in the western USA.

The rocket was patterned after the Space Patrol Terra IV. This conclusion came from the Lunar Fleet Base


Found on https://www.facebook.com/groups/108731209478234/  Steve found the original image of the rig in the library.. so I deleted the photoshopped one



The rocket had a 24 seat, 16mm movie theater and a vibrating floor.

I sure have posted some obscure stuff most of you have never seen, and these promo rocket trailers are about them most obscure... but they are back in the archives whenever you have time to dive in and surf the deep water
