If you are Beatles fan, it is no need to tell what does this ad symbolize. But if you’re not – look at the second picture.

It’s the Beatles and their alumb cover! There was a Volkswagen Beetle parked next to the zebra crossing which belonged to one of the people living in the apartment across from the recording studio. After the album came out, the number plate was stolen repeatedly from the car. In 1986, the car was sold at an auction for $23,000 and is currently on display at the Volkswagen museum in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Some more details about the album cover creation:

At some point, the album was going to be titled Everest after the brand of cigarettes I used to smoke,” recalls Geoff Emerick. The idea included a cover photo in the Himalayas but by the time the group was to take the photo they decided to call it Abbey Road and take the photo outside the studio on 8 August 1969.  McCartney is bare-footed and out of step with the other three. The man standing on the pavement in the background is Paul Cole, a US tourist unaware he had been photographed until he saw the album cover months later. The zebra crossing today remains a popular destination for Beatles fans; see the Abbey Road.
