Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005air mattresses as factory option in '57 wagons
I just received a promotional booklet about the '57 Studebakers. One of the factory options it mentions in passing is a fold-out air matress! K-RAD. Does anyone know about this, like where they folded out from, or how the inflation was integrated, & etc? I might like to try to include something like this in my '57 Provincial restoration/'kustom'.. :) -p I appreciate that the air mats are 'Farbicated' for long wear! I think they are SP-50044. http://home.comcast.net/~jdwain/wagon.airmat.jpg I always wondered what the technical term was for rug burns from an air mattress...<lol> Jeff "Dwain G." wrote... >I appreciate that the air mats are 'Farbicated' for long wear!

What they really are is an adult size simming pool mattress you lay on. The most clever part is inflation. The mailing tub style container has a mail threaded valve, you screw it in to the matress and pump. Problem ism once you remove it and roll it up tight, you still cannot get it bac in its tube/carrier. For a wagon you need two, but if you carry one in the car its fine for dickie-dunkin >but if you carry one in the car its fine for dickie-dunkin Huh?

That would be extra-cool. -p Well as many times as that is done, it should be an option on all cars.

That > would be extra-cool. Its a standard feature on new cars. They pop out auto-magically of the steering wheel center and a little door in the passenger side of the dash. On more expensive cars, they even come out of the ceiling and the doors! Too bad you have to hit something hard enough to make them do their trick! And the trouble is, they don't stay inflated. <g> Craig |
