Some truck drivers still use them, they don't talk much but just monitor channel 19 for road and smokey bear reports
If you have a Cobra 148GTL-DX with the graveyard channels they are worth a bit of money _________________ ROVER

CB was a bit of a sore point for me! As somone who was a young HAM in the 80's and had to pass tests to transmit
What made it worse was folk in the UK trying to adopt US slang, corny didn't cover it , it was unbelievably cringeworthy and for 99% of it use served no useful purpose.
As an emergancy service it was fine but mobile telephony has made it practically redundant .
