This ad is a perfect summary of what the best of the 1980’s had to offer. When the Walkman was introduced, everything changed, and it paved the way to the way we listen to music on the go now.

Once again, we have an advertisement from the 1950’s that showcases the concept of selling a product through the exposure of women’s bodies. This ad’s copy is tongue-in-cheek, saying that “Sabrina demonstrates the world’s finest projection equipment,” with her chest prominently displayed, though they are advertising a slide projector.
