I had one about a dozen times.

From what I think I can make out of the remnants of my copy of McKeown's (which was on the bottom shelf when the basement flooded and all the pages stuck together and the ink washed off) this model was in production for only 3 days before the company went bankrupt. When the company's assets were auctioned off, the dies were purchase by another upstart company who reintroduced this same camera as the Craptoflex. It was in production for several weeks until all the assembly workers got bored and went out for a beer and forgot to ever come back.

A 1970s attempt to revive this model had Linda Lovelace as spokesmodel in both print ads and on TV, with disastrous results in public, but with a secret cult following among henpecked husbands and pubescent boys.
A rather ingenious (yet ungrammatical) catch-phrase used by Ms. Lovelace was,
"Suck-flex...I do!"

Another marketing genius bites the dust. Some members have no respect.
This one is up there in my list with Mitsubishi, who dreamed up the Moco and the Pajero (check any Spanish on line dictionary).
