If you've read this breathless 1974 flying-saucer tome, then you've seen an example of what I call "Almost TREK."
Specifically, the top-right image looks like an out-of-focus AMT
Enterprise model. And the bottom pair of photos from Sky Lab III look like the
Enterprise without its saucer.
From JC Penney's 1980 Christmas catalog, here's another suspiciously evocative shape.
Cropped from a big display ad in the September 24, 1982
Daily Oklahoma, this TV sold by Dillard's department store wanted you to space out!
This is from the June 6, 1988
Daily Oklahoman. The saucer section is from a
Star Trek: The Next Generation model. You tell me what the bottom is -- looks like a US space shuttle shrinkwrapped with a Frisbee.
Anyway, all of these images are ... Almost TREK.
See you back here on Monday for some more cartoons referencing
Star Trek.
