Hello record collectors and vinyl junkies, I'm in the process of selling off the majority of my record collection to finance the ongoing restoration of a classic car...hopefully without going bankrupt! So please check back often, as I'll be listing hundreds of LPs over the next few months.

Anyway, lets continue with this promotional LP titled 1959 Ford Station Wagon Transcription issued by the Ford Division of the Ford Motor Company to promote their line of 1959 Station Wagons.

This is a one sided promotional only LP contains 3 different tracks that are each repeated for a total of six tracks on the record. 

The first recording is a spoken word ad by actor Ward Bond of the TV show Wagon Train.

The second recording is a Ford jingle performed by Mitch Miller & the Sing Along Chorus.

The third recording is a shortened version of the Mitch Miller jingle.

The record has an end groove between each tracks which prevents it from playing more than one track without moving the turntable arm manually to the next track - that way a DJ wouldn't accidentally play two commercials in a row.

This record was not issued with a cover - just a plain white paper sleeve. It will be shipped inside a plain generic cardboard sleeve

Please check cover and label photos for a track listing.

The LP has some light marks that are visible under a bright spotlight that cause minor surface noise when played. 

I grade on a stricter scale than Goldmine (at least the watered down version that seems to exist here on eBay) I will take the time to describe any flaws on both the cover and record itself rather than give a letter grade that will mean something different to seemingly every record buyer and seller.

Sorry if the photos above appear washed out...this is caused by the camera flash...the colors are brighter and bolder in person.

Please feel free to email with any questions but keep in mind that unless there is a "Buy It Now" price listed above, I will not respond to any questions or offers to end an auction early...Thanks for your understanding!

The fine print:

Payment is due within three days after end of the auction. I only accept payment through Paypal - if you do not have a Paypal account, please email me BEFORE bidding to inquire about alternative payment methods.

Due to overwhelming requests, I generally ship domestic packages by Media Mail. However, please keep in mind that while Media Mail is the cheapest shipping method, it is also the slowest. Media Mail can take several weeks or MORE to arrive. Media Mail shipping within the United States is $4.00 including mandatory Delivery Confirmation.

I do combine shipping for multiple purchases. The $4.00 covers between one and two albums. Additional albums (three and up) are an additional .50 cents each. Please wait for an invoice from me as the Paypal system does not calculate the combined shipping.

Overseas shipping is by Air Mail only. Shipping for one LP to Canada is $15.50 and everywhere else in the world is $23.00. Overseas shipping is by regular air mail and can take anywhere from one to four weeks to arrive. I do combine shipping on overseas purchases - I will send an invoice with the combined shipping cost if you purchase more than one LP.

Sorry I no longer ship to Italy or the Russian Federation due to the high number of "lost" packages.

All records are mailed in cardboard record mailers with cardboard inserts to prevent damage. LP will be removed from the cover to prevent seam splits while in transit.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
