Who Still Has This Craig Car Stereo Ad?

[Mikie]

The Beach Boys Craig Car Stereo Ad.  I still have mine from 1977 - I think it's in an issue of Rolling Stone or Billboard or other magazine from that era.  If I remember right, there was a poster made of it too. 8-track, anyone?

Can you associate the individual cars with their owners?

There was a larger poster displayed in retail audio outlets. I remember walking into a store called Stereo Discounters in Harrisburg, PA - I guess it was 1977, maybe 1978 - and they had a huge poster of the ad on the wall. I wanted it so bad. I asked the store manager if I could have it when they took it down; he told me that somebody already claimed it.

Great Ads, love that 70s style.

Carl - the yellow one

Al - the ute

Mike - the grey one

Denny - the black one similar to Carl's

Brian - the black jag/damlier

Nice try, Alan!  Anyone else with the correct answer to which Beach Boy belonged to which car?  Stebbins knows already so he's disqualified.

Yes, from Playboy magazine.

Ah, the truth comes out!  Rolling Stone or Billboard, huh?  Any other memories about the mag (the articles were well written)

 I've got the poster.     I'm happy to show it, if I can just figure out where I put it...

Nah, don't bother, Bgas. We know what it looks like.

[Mikie]

I believe these are the cars:

1948 MGTC - Mike
1935 Ford Model 48 convertible - Dennis
Cadillac Sedan deVille Limo - Brian
Bentley Continental S2 - Al
Chevy C/K truck  - Carl

[Gerry]

I thought Al owned the truck and Carl owned the Bentley

[The LEGENDARY OSD]

I've got the magazine sized ad in my box of BB goodies in the attic next to the BB kite and Frisbee.

Carl owned the Bentley. He even taught Carnie to drive it.

[Mikie]

Well, I tells ya this. It makes a lot of sense if Al owned the truck, navigating the back roads down the coast of Highway 1 and carrying bails of hay for his animals around the Jardine Ranch in Big Sur. But.....I read an article once about Carl being at the Caribou Ranch and then spotted in Coldwater Canyon in L.A., both times driving a truck. So I put two and two together. Carl owned a 1964 Grand Prix in the early 60's (Shut Down 2 cover that was broadsided at an intersection in Hawthorne). After that he had an Aston Martin DB5 and a green Bentley in the mid-1960's. It's possible that's the same dark green Bentley in the Craig Stereo picture. The white Bentley seen with Carl behind the wheel in the movie "American Band" was actually owned by his wife, Annie.
