That's pretty late. I told this story here previously, but it bears repeating. When I was a kid our family took an annual driving vacation for a week or two every summer, usually to Maine and New England. The first color TV I remember seeing in a motel room was a Motorola console at the Farmington Motel in Farmington, Maine, in the summer of either '67 or '68. I remember sitting on the floor in front of it for much of the evening just fascinated by it.
The Farmington Motel was part of the "Superior" group, which always seemed somewhat loose at best. They were usually not bad places. However, I just did a search and to my surprise it is not only still in business, it still looks almost exactly the same and is still a part of that Superior group! Amazing.
