In the 2006 film "First Snow", what does Jimmy really want to sell that isn't flooring?

In the 2006 film "First Snow," Jimmy really wants to sell Wurlitzer jukeboxes, not flooring. Jimmy Starks, played by Guy Pearce, presents himself as a flooring salesman, but his real ambition is to make money selling vintage Wurlitzer machines.

The jukebox plan fits Jimmy's slick, opportunistic personality. Wurlitzer was a major American maker of coin-operated jukeboxes, especially famous for colorful mid-century models that played 45-rpm records. Vintage machines can appeal both as music players and as collectible pieces, making them a plausible niche business for someone trying to get ahead.

The detail appears while Jimmy is stranded in a small New Mexico town because of car trouble. He visits the fortune teller Vacaro, whose prediction about the first snow turns the movie into a tense psychological thriller. A common mix-up is to remember Jimmy only by his cover occupation, since flooring is the job he claims while traveling.
