Always in style.

Yes Ken!
The 1955 SX-99 styling is like a
1955 Chevy, rounded, heavy.
The 1959 SX-110 is like a 1959
Chevy, light and sharp and trim.

There was a change in industrial design standards during the
late 1950s. The solid massive designs of the Post war era
gave way to lighter designs that symbolized the Jet Age.
This change occurred in every industrial design, cars,
planes, radio, production machinery. The SX-110 and the
S-108 are beautiful examples of this change in Art Style.
Light, fast and sleek. The electronics were undergoing
a similar upgrade at this time.
