#CBradio makers in the 1970s made rigs looking like mobile phones of the era — long before cell phones. Look back at a baker’s dozen #CB rigs that looked more like you could make a phone call from your car. Read our article with your email address at https://t.co/HrmcK95ETq.

In 1982, Larry Walters, a 33 year old truck driver from California, tied 40+ eight-foot weather balloons to his chair and took off. He took his pellet gun, a CB radio, sandwiches, 2 liters of Coca-Cola, a pack of beer, and a camera. He soared as high as 16,000 feet l, which became a problem because some planes were flying at that altitude.

Hal Needham requested Jerry Reed to write a theme song for "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977). Jerry Reed came up with the iconic theme song, "East Bound and Down" overnight.

When he played it for Needham, judging by his reactions, Reed thought that the song wasn't good enough & offered to rewrite the song if Needham found it unsatisfactory. Needham replied,

"You change one word, one note and I'll choke ya".

P.S: On this day, 49 years ago, "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977) premiered in New York City, USA.

@Gonset_com Yes, it seems as though the styling was common for that era with the black and silver faceplate and the center channel control.

@Gonset_com I like that radio. It was a solid rig with all of the basic features that performed quite well and was fairly popular when I worked at RS in ‘77.
