Beep Beep
Rambler was the first succesful american built compact car. The popularity of the car inspired songs like "Beep Beep" where it was still refered to as a Nash Rambler.
Beep Beep, is a fun song that starts out slow, but The Tempo builds as the "Little Nash Rambler" wants to pass the Cadillac. Released by the Playmates, shown in the publicity photo below in 1958. The 45 rpm single is also shown below in it's original sleeve.

1958 AMC Rambler, Competitive Sales Training
In the 1950's, there were no dvd's or vhs tapes, to provide product knowledge training. The technology of the day was a record player, and a filmstrip projector. The audio included a "ding" sound to let the projection operator know it was time to advance the filmstrip. This training film is recorded from an LP record, and filmstrip. You will hear the "ding" each time just before the filmstrip advances.
