Support Our WorkGottlieb's 'Glamour' pinball machine, released in 1967, emerged during a vibrant period in pinball history when the industry was still dominated by electro-mechanical machines. The theme centered around fashion and beauty, reflecting the cultural fascination with glamour and style during the 1960s.
The machine featured classic electro-mechanical components with relay-based scoring and chime units typical of the era. Its playfield likely included standard features of the period such as pop bumpers, slingshots, and various scoring targets. The art package would have showcased the fashion-forward aesthetics of the late 1960s, with bright colors and period-appropriate artwork depicting stylish figures and fashion elements.
While not one of Gottlieb's most famous titles from this era, 'Glamour' represents an interesting snapshot of both pinball design and social trends of the late 1960s. The theme choice reflects the growing influence of fashion magazines and beauty culture in mainstream America, making it a noteworthy artifact of its time. Production numbers are not widely documented, but like many EM games of this period, it likely had a manufacturing run of several thousand units.
