The Polaroid Swinger Camera

Yesterday I found a Polaroid 'Swinger' camera with lots of accessories and in it's original carryall case. After a bit of googling I found out why it appealed to the teen market so much back in the 1960s...


The Polaroid Model 20 “Swinger” was a popular Land Camera produced by the Polaroid Corporation between 1965 and 1970. It was the first truly inexpensive instant camera, a fact that helped fuel its enormous popularity and made it one of the top-selling cameras of all time. The Swinger was especially successful in the youth market due to its low price, stylish appearance and super fantastic “Meet the Swinger” jingle sung by Barry Manilow in a television advertisement featuring a young Ali MacGraw. Ain’t it catchy!?

Check out the vintage camera in my online shoppe here and wear with stripey tee and polka dot pants a la super cute miss Ali MacGraw!
