RARE! The NBC Color Caravan Story...June 9 - August 11, 1954 Some have heard about this, but for those that havent, we finally have the NBC Chimes Magazine article from August of 54, thanks to our friend Dicky Howett in The UK. RCA and NBC were proud as peacocks with their new color abilities and took the first two color trucks on the road for a month of live colorcasts that were carried on Today and The Home Show. On July 9, a crew of eighteen men did the tours first color remote from St. Louis as the local stations and major department stores along the way were pre stocked with RCA color monitors and sets for sale and display. The cities they visited also included Milwaukee, Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland, Washington DC, Baltimore and Ft. Meade Maryland. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
