It debuted in January 1953 at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York and toured the country as part of GM’s Motorama show circuit. Shoe magnate Harry Karl had the legendary George Barris modify it, adding a telephone, television, tape recorder, and a removable transparent top. Barris included gold, platinum, and silver trim details, bringing the total price to a then-exorbitant $52,000.
