Fashion Show

Fashion Show, designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker, was manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company in May 1962. Neyens was one of Gottlieb's most prolific and celebrated designers, and Parker its signature artist of the era, so this two-player electro-mechanical game with its fashion show and pageantry theme comes from the company's classic creative team. Gottlieb built a confirmed 2,675 units.

The playfield offers two flippers, three pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, two slingshots, three rollover buttons, and a single standup target. The centerpiece is a rotating disc in the middle of the playfield: hitting the target scores the disc's current value and advances it one step counter-clockwise, as does scoring any of four rollovers, adding a changing-value element to shot selection. The game could be set for 3- or 5-ball play, and the score reels display up to 1,999 points per player. Sounds come from a single bell and a knocker.

With its charming Roy Parker artwork and clever rotating-disc scoring mechanism, Fashion Show is an appealing example of early-1960s Gottlieb design, reflecting the light pageantry themes and elegant mechanical ingenuity that defined the company's golden era.
