The rebate program casually [and awkwardly] known as 'Cash for Clunker Appliances' has lured consumers into stores to take advantage of some pretty sweet deals on refrigerators, dishwashers, and laundry machines. But it's hardly a new concept; a precedent of sorts was set in 1959, when Westinghouse touted its 'Opportunity Days', with the help of some familiar and famous people.
Watch and learn.
