1961 might well be the year Arvin could actually say they were a major player in the U. S. radio industry.  They cracked the one-million barrier in radio production for a single year (see picture below) and they had an ever-expanding offering of both portable and table top models.  Color was still a big deal as sets were offered in a variety of colors.  At some point, we're planning to compile a list of all the color names they used in the 50s & 60s.  Could be entertaining?  Check the bottom of the page for links to albums for various 1961 models.
