Also, TV's are a lot bigger now than back then, I have a 50" that I brought home in my pick up!
Trunks in cars were a lot bigger back then and people had station wagons instead of SUV's. Being old has nothing to do with it, it's knowing about the history of cars!
I remember my uncle having a Buick Roadmaster stationwagon that could fit a full 4x8' sheet of plywood in the back (with the tailgate door closed).

Even with a pickup truck, you run the risk of damaging a big TV - always better to have the store deliver and install it.

We bought a 52" Sony projo about 14 years ago - it was a monster at the time...paid over $3k for it I recall. The store waived the delivery and setup fee since we bought a complete audio system, racking and a ton of furniture the same day.

I owned a pickup truck at the time - but no way was I gonna handle that sucker myself.
