Wow, indeed for Linda — 2 new cars! $6,000 in prizes was quite a hall in 1973.
Anyhow, a few questions on the prizes, namely what in the world are a cellerette (the one-bid item) and a phone valet (in the Bonus Game)?
I presume the submarine was similar to those we saw on the 1956-era TPiR.
Also, what cheap prizes in Most Expensive. Exactly $699 for the three prizes put together, and add to that the $400 refrigerator won in the one-bid immediately before that, and there was no way poor Susan could get into the Showcase (since the other two contestants won their pricing games and their winnings were more than what her potential winnings could be). Remember, this was before the Big Wheel became part of the show, so it couldn't happen today.
