Things You Can't Buy Now: Polaroid Swinger Land Camera


This sweet baby wasn't very good for spies and undercover agents to use but for a young adult, the Polaroid Swinger had to be the neatest, coolest in-thing. Imagine to be able to snap a picture and have it processed and in your hands on the spot. This came well before the digital age. As I recall, the photographer had to smear with a sponge some goopy stuff across the photo after it was fed out of the camera. I don't know what the goopy stuff did, but it smelled strong like airplane glue does. This is the link to the TV ad with its catchy jingle: Click here for Swinger TV commercial. If the Swinger owner had as much fun as the gals and guys in the commercial do, he or she would buy two of them!
