Kamel 106 Rockin’ The Bay 1977 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

$29.95

San Francisco’s Kamel 106 launched in 1977 as a powerhouse album rock station with a headphone wearing cartoon camel as their mascot. In 1979, the station was responsible for creating one of the single greatest promotions in radio history by creating a contest to giveaway Sammy Hagar’s red ’79 Trans-Am, or at least one that looked just like it. The contest was in support of his new album, Street Machine, which featured the track Trans-Am (Highway Wonderland), inspired by Hagar’s love for his all-time favorite car at the time. While the promotion broke records of all kinds as the red Trans-Am made appearances at malls and other popular locations throughout the Bay Area, by the early ’80s, they were one of six big rock stations in the Bay area and sadly ended up flipping to a top-40 format in 1984.
