A diverse group of vintage vinyl records with strong automotive and racing themes, highlighted by multiple Chevrolet promotional pressings and Sebring race-related albums. This lot blends mid-century car culture, dealership advertising, hot rod music, and classic 1960s surf rock into one appealing collector grouping.

Included are several Chevrolet promotional 12" LP records such as “A Chevrolet Owner,” “Song Parodies,” and additional dealership/distributor communication pressings. These corporate advertising albums were produced in limited quantities for promotional use and are increasingly collected by Chevrolet and automobilia enthusiasts. Also featured are motorsports-related albums including “Grand Prix of the United States Sebring 1959,” “Sebring Corners,” and “Sounds of Sebring,” documenting early American road racing history.

Music highlights include The Beach Boys “Little Deuce Coupe,” Rip Chords “Three Window Coupe,” “Shut Down” hot rod era material, and additional automotive and performance-themed titles. The lot also contains assorted 45 RPM records including a Dinah Shore seasonal pressing and other period singles.

Condition varies throughout, with visible wear to some sleeves and records consistent with age and storage. A strong cross-category lot appealing to collectors of automobilia, Chevrolet memorabilia, racing history, and mid-century American pop culture.
