Motorola's futuristic living, circa early-60s

Phillip sez, "In the early 1960s, Motorola advertised their black-and-white TVs or stereo hi-fis and such with a fascinating series of paintings illustrating modern American living." These are superb, a cross between Fuller's Dymaxion house, the Jetsons' home, the Carousel of Progress and the Monsanto House of the Future. I'd love to live in one of these. Link (Thanks, Philipp!)
