Was over at the machine shop today having some parts worked on, and the owner asked if I knew where he can find a vinyl record - 45 RPM size that is a promo for the 1960 Vette.
Said it includes one of the design engineers talking about the car, the sound of the engine running.

He wants to get a copy, original record or digital download, etc... for his father's Christmas gift.

Any help and leads will be appreciated.

Thanks

Boy, I thought I was going to make you happy, as I have something very similar.


I have the 1961 version though. :(

It is called "Sounds of Corvette"

Here is the wording off of the cover.
"HERE'S AN EXCITING RECORD THAT BRINGS YOU AN EXPERTS KNOWLEDGE AND THE SOUND OF AMERICAS SPORTS CAR IN ACTION! LISTEN AS MR. K.E.STALEY, CHEVROLT'S GENERAL SALES MANAGER, INTRODUCES YOU TO THE GREAT '61 CORVETTE. THEN LET YOUR IMAGINATION GO ALONG FOR A THRILLING RIDE WITH ZORA ARKUS-DUNTOV, WORLD-FAMOUS SPORTS CAR DRIVER AND AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER, AS HE PUTS THE NEW CORVETTE THROUGH ITS PACES!

On the back side, it gives the specs and features for the car.

This was obviously given out like a brochure, as it is stamped with a salesmans name, as well as the dealership where it came from.

The record itself is 45 sized, but the label states that it should be played at 33 1/3. It also says on the label Copr.-60-Chevrolet Motor Div., GMC
Produced by The JAM HANDY Organization
Manufactured by RCA Victor Custom Records
