This novel addition to the pleasures of highway travel, specially designed by CBS Laboratories as an accessory for Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial - From 1956 to 1959, you could order your Chrysler with a record player. You got six discs with the car and could buy more from the dealer, but they tended to skip over bumps and didn't work very well, and disappeared for 1962.
The special records were developed by CBS Laboratories, are seven inches in size, transcribed on both sides, and pressed especially for Chrysler by Columbia Records. They give up to 45 minutes of music and up to one full hour of speech per side.
Making up the collection are Tschaikovsky's Sixth Symphony, Borodini's Polovtsian Dances, Ippalitov-Ivanov's Procession of the Sardar, the complete score of the Broadway musical show Pajama Game, Walt Disney's Davey Crockett, Gene Autry and Champion, Romantic Moods by Percy Faith and his orchestra, quiet jazz by Paul Weston and his orchestra, Music of Cole Porter and Victor Herbert by Andre Kostelanetz and his orchestra, and dramatic readings from Bernard Shaw's Don Juan in Hell by a cast of top Hollywood and Broadway artists.
