    Thought some of you would enjoy a few CB radio ads from the "days gone by". Some of you may have owned or knew of someone who owned one of these at one time.

    All of you have heard of a Cobra 29...how about a Cobra 28?:

    [​IMG]

    Of course if you're still hooked on that Cobra 29, maybe that's a good thing since they've been around since the mid 70's....

    Some how I think this led to the decline of GE's CB radio line.
