Hello all.
I noticed that there wasn't a thread for anyone to post the original retail boxes (for those that are lucky enough to still have them) for your boomboxes. I figured it'd be of interest to somebody.
So, let's fix that now.
I'll start us off.
Ok, so I take serious issue with the design decisions of this box. I get that (currently) the Studebaker brand is meant to kinda cash in on 50's nostalgia, but would it have killed them to have a plain white box, blue grid pattern & black line art of the boombox, with Helvetica text (excluding logos, Bluetooth marks, etc.)?
But still, at least they didn't go the full "The 80's were rad, dude!" with the art design...I'm looking at you Ion & GPO!
