    If you bought a Mazda you could have a free Hitachi Lo-D M2! from 1980.

    That was actually a good prize! Probably worth $1500 in today's dollars. What kind of Mazda did you have to buy?

    I cut the top off so the ad would be larger, when I do screen shots, the bigger the shot, the smaller the ad. I think the car was just a normal sedan like a 323? I thought that was a good deal, everyone wanted a better car stereo than stock and a pretty nice home mini system on top of it.

    Very early National (Panasonic) from 1970, I thought the R-540B had two tape decks but it isn't listed in the description. All of these companies had little cartoon people in the ads!

    For some reason there's not nearly as many Walkman Ads as boomboxes, here's a neat one for the Kenwood CP-20 from 1983
